Hi all. Ilija was unfortunately hit with multiple technology failures this month, which slowed down final development of the hooks proposal. While we’re pretty comfortable and happy with the design at this point (and it seems most people in the discussion thread are as well), Ilija is concerned about passing it this close to feature freeze, on the off chance that some undiscovered implementation detail may necessitate a small API change (and thus another RFC). Given the timing, therefore, we’re also going to delay the vote until later this summer (probably), after Ilija’s had time to bang on the implementation a bit further to make sure there’s no hidden gotchas. That will unfortunately push it to the 8.4 cycle. On the upside, that will give it a very long settling-in time so that by the time it shows up in a stable version it’s rock solid. Thanks for sticking with us. We’ll provide another update when Ilija’s comfortable with the state of the implementation. --Larry Garfield -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
