[PHP] [PHP-DEV] PHP 5.3.0RC4

2009-06-19 Thread Lukas Kahwe Smith

Hello!

we have packaged PHP 5.3.0RC4, which you can find here:
http://downloads.php.net/johannes/

Windows binaries are available here:
http://windows.php.net/qa/

This this release candidate focused on bug fixes and stability
improvements and we hope to only require minimal changes ahead
of the next release. Many, but not all,  of the new features are
already integrated in the official documentation on php.net.

We aim to release PHP 5.3.0 next week. In case of critical issues we
will continue producing weekly RCs. For most users there will not be a
noticeable change meaning that now is the time to really do the final
testing of PHP 5.3.0 before it gets released with any unnecessary
incompatibilities with your project.

Some additional links to get started:

[PHP] PHP 5.3.0RC1

2009-03-24 Thread Lukas Kahwe Smith

Hello!

Johannes has packaged PHP 5.3.0RC1, which you can find here:
http://downloads.php.net/johannes/

Windows binaries are available here:
http://windows.php.net/qa/

This release candidate makes us feature complete and we hope to only  
require minimal changes ahead of the next release. Many, but not all,  
of the new features are already integrated in the official  
documentation on php.net.


Please not that we are aware of minor issues with integer handling  
that we still want to fix (though most of them have also affected PHP  
5.2) and a crash bug in NSAPI. Expect an RC2 in 2-3 weeks time, though  
for most users there will not be a noticeable change meaning that now  
is the time to start doing the final testing of PHP 5.3.0 before it  
gets released with any unnecessary incompatibilities with your project.

Re: [PHP] optional type hinting enhancements

Hi All,

preface: Having discussed at great length previously and probably
completely misnaming and thus misleading the conversation here  
goes again.


question: Would anybody else like to see, or feel the need for,
*optional* type hinting of variables and class properties in PHP?

examples (all optional, and syntax may differ):

class Example {
 private TypeHint $var;
}

Example $var = new Example();

in addition the ability to type hint primatives/scalars/[type  
object] in

the existing implementation:

function(bool $flag) {
}

function(object $flag) {
}


This would all be under the assumption and proviso that an
implementation would not break bc, have any markable perfomance  
hit, or
in any other way effect existing applications or new applications  
that
did not use the functionality (in the same way the existing type  
hinting

implementation doesn't)

Any +1's?
can I give a +1 for you making a request to start a RFC on the  
matter ...

I'm sure LKS will give you perms to set up one on wiki.php.net/rfc.


lukas, thoughts? [ini proposals coming in a minute, just diff'ing]



i do not determine what things are worthy of an RFC. i just handle  
granting the karma to anyone who wants to write one. so just register ..


btw:

Lukas

[PHP] PHP 5.3.0alpha3

2008-12-04 Thread Lukas Kahwe Smith

Hello!

Johannes has packaged PHP 5.3.0alpha3, which you can find here:
http://downloads.php.net/johannes/

Windows binaries thanks to Pierre, which are available here:
http://windows.php.net/qa/

Please test it carefully, and report any bugs in the bug system, but  
only if you have a short reproducable test case.


It seems unlikely that we will be able to release a beta this year.  
However we currently do not plan another alpha release unless we find  
larger issues in the namespace changes. Please also note that the  
documentation for namespaces has been updated already:

http://php.net/namespace

regards,
Johannes and Lukas

Sorry, that last line should not have been in there. A final release  
of PHP 5.3.0 will not happen before October or maybe even not until  
November.
