At least I got it and we swallowed that bitter pill in 4.4.0 that lots of our OO PHP client projects broke unadvertedly with the bugfix release. But as you imply, the date issue is _not_ a bugfix so there is even less an acceptable reason to introduce it in RC 6! If it was oversighted before RC 1, a professional process should prevent it from being incorporated in 5.1 at all. What sense does it make to test an RC 1 if you can't be sure that PHP won't introduce the major BC breaks before RC 5? ;-) -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
