I disagree that it should go out as is, very strongly at that too.
Some fixes not in the 4.2 branches:
- ODBC no longer crashes on Windows upon unloading
- while not fully tested, ext/java now works for 1.4 JDK's
- various memory leak fixes provied by Ilia (pack being one of them)
- a few misc fixes for Win32 platforms
- nsapi build fix which allows it to build and reported run again
(although I still think we need to decide if we can kill this support)
- numerous domxml bug fixes have been added as well.
- QTDOM fix to allow it to compile again and run again
This is one yet to be made, but:
- a potential fix to have 'make install' work on AIX machines again
finally.
These are just bug fixes. I don't want to see new functionality added to
PHP for a potential 4.2.3, but I do want to see a LOT of these bugs
squished. There is a fix, why go and release another version of PHP with
known and non-fixed bugs in it?
It still doesn't seem to compile and work on 64-bit arch's.
But yet again, there are numerous reasons why we should move to release
PHP 4.3. The biggest of which in my book is, it supports OSX! While
possibly a minor issue to many of the users on this list, it's becoming a
more significant issue, especially with Jaguar/10.2 being released in a
few days. There have been numerous fixes to all the code bases in an
effort to get support for OSX implemented into them (ext/java still being
a bastard).
