[PHP-DEV] PHP 5 RC1

2004-01-05 Thread Andi Gutmans
Hi Guys, Now most people seem to be back and over their new year's hangovers I'd like to jump start RC1. As discussed, we should start the process of cleaning up for RC1. I think we should try and target for the end of January. I suggest each extension maintainer go through his bugs and check

From: Edin Kadribasic Do you think you can maintain PHP's binary of libxml that suits our needs including the .def file. Yes, this shouldnt too difficult once I can get the environment setup for the libxml/libxslt release builds. Does any xml we use require libxml2 to be compiled with iconv?

From: Zeev Suraski I've been using static builds of iconv and libxml2 for quite some time. Do you need the .dsp's? Thanks, but other than the iconv question, libxml is the easy part in all of this, unless of course you already have iconv being exported from libxml in the dsp. I believe Edin
