Hi,
guys, just go out and say to the public, that due to Openssl security
fixes which are awaited and thus because we want to ensure that 7.0.0.
will be correctly working with it, we won't release 7.0.0 even as source
until we are sure the QA procedure is gone.
PHP can get really good bashing for being too hasty out of the door not
working with latest and secure OpenSSL.
You know me, I am far from a Windows fan, it makes just send. The
Openssl update is force majeure.
Best,
Andrey

Are you suggesting that PHP 7.0.0 will be changed, re-tagged, and then
released without a new release candidate if you find a problem
building
it for Windows?
Can you at least give me the illusion that you read our answers? It is
not only about windows.
I think it is confusing enough without trying to add more
"suggestions" to the stack.
What I am saying is simple. Openssl will release security related
fixes today. Most if not all of them will hit 3rd party
packagers/distros today/tomorrow/soon. Now, after discussions, waiting
a couple of hours more sounds like a sane (if not only) move to ensure
that everything goes well with openssl and php 7. If that's not the
case, for example openssl breaks BC again, then it is a problem in
openssl and they should delay their release or distros/3rd parties
will delay the patches. It won't have an impact on today planed
release of php 7.
For subsequent important releases, could we introduce a concept of
'frozen zone' of one or two days before the planned release date. This
is a time where everything is ready to deliver and nothing is planned.
Any event during this time delays the date. That's one of the mechanisms
NASA has established to respect launch times and I find it quite efficient.
