-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Internals,
I think with the start of recent 5.3 EOL discussion, it's about time to give an overview over the 5.5 schedule as far as I planned it. I want to go for a new alpha this week (on thursday), 4 week after the first one. I should have send out a mail two days ago but missed it. Sorry for that, I'll do a better job with alpha3. - From there I want to go with a new alpha in about two weeks, as we there are some things like ext/mysql deprecation in the pipeline. After alpha3 we have to check if there is something urgent in the pipe to do a alpha4. If not I want to go into beta phase for 2 betas. The beta phase also marks the feature freeze, so no new features should be added from there on (e.g. mysql deprecation should be done in alpha phase). I hope that after 2-3 betas we can go to a first RC. During 5.4 we needed a lot of RCs, so I assume a 5.5.0 final can be expected around April. I know this schedule is tight and some might not agree, but it's the first release in the new 1 year timeframe so we have less features then 5.4 and 5.3 to release and will release php-next in about a year from know, so we are not in a hurry to just push everything in if it's not ready. I am confident that the current open alpha window is good enough for whats about to get merged and that 8-12 weeks of betas and RCs are enough to stablize for a final version. The schedule for the next 6 weeks is as follows: 15. Nov 2012 (past) - 5.5.0 alpha1 13. Dec 2012 - 5.5.0 alpha2 27. Dec 2012 - 5.5.0 alpha3 14. Jan 2013 - 5.5.0 beta1/alpha4 (feature freeze) Julien and I will update http://wiki.php.net/todo/php55 over then next days with what's left to do. - - Julien and David -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJQx5pCAAoJEKSanlo0ToXK6tkP/R32cQxYOPWW+NsaxVWfTkBi lAkolOXdacdLa7sZR8dNSdZQ8llhoGq1KyWnD9eLYchiilBF/NS3mz6hIdKnd9un TaSD+1i9bN487+Or5Q1fYAQyXLR7BfYznpcOE2bVDK9+hpM2unNfcyGjeg05cjBp dC3LmO++KrU6TvGSSw1+GoQnoKmtB37/HOib7a4jGyOes4PJjw7hW/J1QSJ/lKTm UxksKweJ8GC8EiAJGNw/OUzyBH2h0Tdtzu3Jd5NdRkDwqVXeacBE9dhyx8M1NKPf hbXwZHd+2zKHRXbUftUyQTSYAhFbEZNvqxyW4AgOefyBIz322frJGiLN9eXAEYt5 evrj1T40SExMiipxQMTo9qqc9XsfGoFYz6RbCZS4MVLmiaxawO9coh3p1/C/PCi9 bDi/G/EBuALa8kiklNMbxnuIbRClDbNWBFYvlx90oJWFAztPl38dqoAMxoLdAftx smIeFLNL5PxNuXEbUZEekqxgAfo+BWqzUu7ToQNDI4XrRuw2g2VAMRGWflcBjkc1 /Rfkq7yP3ccIyAtGQ6x/YuzNGK9uyyxCYpeuGj2XXahpz8QDE4byBR9S8PC0wqqy Fr2pWlZf2gXj9KtrAzp4eP3fvj1kZ5LgzBgOAo2roBJM4zkA51EhBy2B3JuM+0Gn AggTRjwqTkytNSS/hhMc =HCsP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
