I'd like the streams code to get an "airing" in a release, so that we know it has gone through that much more testing - I'd like PHP 5 to be nice and stable, and since streams touches a lot of code, I think it would be a good idea to eliminate this as a source of trouble before we introduce ZE2. (Just imagine what a nightmare it would be if we unveiled a new build system, a new streams system and new language level enhancements all at once, and then discovered that there were bugs all over the place!). I'd like to think that my code is always bug free, but the reality of (late|all)-night coding means that this might not be the case for certain parts :-) But, on the whole, I agree with what you were saying: the sooner we switch our focus to ZE2, the better. --Wez. PS: I've finished the filter API for streams, so my TODO list for 4.3 has just gotten a lot shorter. -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
