Aloha,
We have finally released RC2. Its now time to really finish up and
bring 5.3.0 to a stable release. I have updated the wiki page to the
best of my knowledge [1]. If anything is missing, already done etc.
please let me know or fix it yourself. Again the goal is to have the
critical issues fixed ASAP, so that we can release RC3 in 2-3 weeks
time.
Here is the list, again check the wiki page if you are interested as
there are links pointing to addition infos for some of the issues:
1. fix open PHP 5.3 bugs
2. finish UPGRADING README file (Steph)
3. write migration guide for the manual (Steph)
4. Fix static build of extension on windows when static is the default
and –enable-snapshot-build is used
5. Fix the NEWS file, as it skips from 5.2.4 to 5.3.0
6. opendir() fails on Windows directories with parent directory
unaccessible
7. very important for APC, about caching (stat cache or other) on win/
fcgi (Pierre)
8. add missing libs (gmp, firebird ..) (Pierre)
9. Add E_DEPRECATED if session.bug_compat_42/warn is On (already
removed in HEAD)
10. fix re2c issues: bus error, 8k script parse error
11. update short_open_tag descriptions in php.ini-* as per this (philip)
Critical issues:
1) I assume the issues with rounding are resolved. If any issues pop
up again, please let the list know.
2) The re2c EOF bug needs a clean fix
All the while we do not need a final upgrading and migration guide for
RC3, but the sooner the better of course. We do need them for the
final release, which hopefully come shortly after RC3. In terms of the
windows issues, we RMs feel that these issues existed in previous
versions of PHP and given the amount of improvements we have for
Windows users, we do not feel that its critical to wait for their
resolution. That is not to say of course that getting them resolved is
not important. However only if they are low risk changes. Most of the
other issues are minor and should get fixed for RC3.
regards,
Lukas Kahwe Smith
