to change, the folks who want the simpler XML handling, SOAP and
stronger OO in PHP 5 and then the group that need full Unicode support
yesterday.
I'd be happy with that if the same people who claim to be happy with
PHP4 did not complain when code I've produced for PHP5 and provide open
sourced does not run for them - even given that most of the Firebird
stuff was never back ported to PHP4 anyway! (Which is why I've never
used PHP4 in production either)
We have a proposed roadmap for PHP 6 in terms of features and changes.
There are no dates on that roadmap because frankly that is impossible to
do in a project like this.
That is one I am following with interest, and I have a large archive of
unicode data ready to apply to the results :) But *PLEASE* can we have
windows builds to play with from time to time ;) Some of us still do not
have the tools to build one ourselves :(
