Hello all, As some of you may have noticed the 5.3 todo list [1] has been reworked a bit. There is now a list for alpha1 and some more items for alpha2. As previously announced Lukas and I are allowing low risk self contained work to continue until alpha2 on a case by case basis.
However there are even still a few items that did not make it in for the alpha1 feature freeze that we have permitted to be worked on over the course of this weekend. Or just general bug fixing items we need to have done before alpha1 release (planned for July 31st): 1) various string optimization patches from Matt (Scott) 2) various ZE optimization patches from Matt (Dmitry) 3) add tests for fileinfo (note fileinfo is now bundled and enabled by default just as mimemagic was before PHP 5.2) (Derick) 4) add openssl_parse_csr (Pierre) 5) "OpenLDAP C API cleanup patch" and pat44 "LDAP control support" (Pierre) 6) Zend Signal Handling (Dmitry) 7) add array_replace[_recursive] (diff, phpt) (Johannes) 8) prepare windows build infrastructure (Pierre, Rob, Liz) 9) make parent::/self:: forwarding (Dmitry) 10) make ming compile with libming 0.3 and up (Frank) 11) unix path separators in spl (Marcus) 12) add Christians Reflection patch for closures (Marcus) @Marcus: Can you handle 11) and 12)? Let us know if we are missing anything from this list ASAP! Then a couple questions that need to be answered and quickly resolved: - undeprecate ticks: as long as we have no replacement for the signal handling we shouldn't deprecate the only way to do that. - drop __toString() from Closures - Do not include 3xx http codes in the fopen wrapper Again a general request to the developer and user community at large: Please concentrate on finding&fixing bugs instead of functional changes (including arginfo and parameter_parsing) and to make sure we have all changes covered in the wiki [2] so they can be added to release notes and the documentation.
