Hello, A release candidate for PHP 4.2.0 has just been packed. This build is used for testing the readiness of the release branch. By providing feedback to this build, we can make sure the actual release (planned for April, 22nd) has as few bugs as possible. This release candidate is NOT meant for production servers, only for helping out the PHP-QA Team finding week spots.
You can help use by completing one of the following tasks: Simple build tests 1. Download the RC from: http://www.php.net/~derick/ - php-4.2.0RC1.tar.gz (Source) - php-4.2.0RC1-win32.zip (windows binaries: CLI, CGI, ISAP module and extensions: cpdf, ctype, cybercash, db, dbx, domxml, fdsql, fdf, filepro, gd, gettext, java, mhash, oci8, openssl, pdf, pgsql, shmop, sockets, tokeniser, w32api, xslt and zlib (all without libraries!!!) - php4apache.dll (apache 1.3.23 module for windows) 2. Build and test the RC 3. Provide feedback through: http://qa.php.net/buildtest-submit.php If you are really serious, you can also help us run testcases in the following ways: 1. Run 'make test' after you build from source (non-windows only) and provide feedback to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2. Run testcases, which you can find on: http://qa.php.net/testcases-4.2.0.php These testcases address areas of PHP, which need some special attention during the Release Process. It's very important that you run these cases very thouroughly. You can provide feedback with http://qa.php.net/buildtest-submit.php (specify your testcase there). If you have any questions, please mail to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailinglist. regards, Derick -- PHP Quality Assurance Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
