It would be very nice to always use the latest version, if previous bugs are fixed and if there are new features worth using. But I think we should only decide to update the requirements just before we begin a new cycle, and not in the middle or at the end of the cycle, so that people are prepared. And provide strong reasons for the change, not just "possibility to use DateTime". And also provide a list of fixed PHP bugs which should justify the bump. -- Alexandru Stanoi eZ Components System Developer eZ Systems | http://ez.no -- Components mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ez.no/mailman/listinfo/components
