Hi,
So alpha1 is out the door. Johannes and I still need to get some
routine with this release business. First lesson is to package on
Wednesday for a release on Thursday. And I need to be more careful
when I update the various PHP sites. Anyways due to the various last
minute changes, we broke too many things for the windows guys, so
official builds will only come with alpha2, though snaps.php.net is
pushing out windows builds for 5.3 for those who cannot wait.
While I still have not had time to sit down and schedule alpha2, it
has coem to my attention that Derick and Scott are planning vacations
in the next weeks. While Scott can probably complete all of his
current alpha2 items, the same might not be the case for Derick. So
before Johannes and I try to make a date solid (we originally
envisioned a 2-3 week time frame, and due to the many items for alpha2
and the more or less final feature freeze, I figured we would package
on the 20th), it would be good to hear from all of the people with
items for alpha2 by then they estimate they can complete the given
task (some items have links to explain the context, please check on
the wiki [1] for these urls, if the item in this email is unclear):
