I guess they are thinking 4.0.6 is more stable than 4.1.2, since patch level version is 6 for 4.0.6 while patch level 2 for 4.1.2. It seems we are better to mention what the minor version difference imply.

Unfortunately, nobody commits patches to 4.0.6 branch. Installing PHP from CVS source does not help to stablize 4.0.6. Bugs are only fixed in CVS HEAD or current release branch (4.2.0 currently) We need to ask users to try ethier try CVS HEAD or PHP_4_2_0 branch source.... So I would say we are better to ask users to try newer version if user report problems older than current release branch. As someone already mentioned this in this list, We may want snapshot for release branch. -- Yasuo Ohgaki -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
