Aloha,
Well we have waited long enough for a fix for re2c, but Johannes and I
(based on Scott's advice) have now decided that we can live with the
current hack that simply reverts to PHP 5.2 behavior (slower parsing,
only relevant for people not using a byte code cache) when re2c fails
to handle things. Derick is looking into this issue, so we might have
a fix in time.
As such I am only aware of the following critical issues:
1) apply the integer parsing patch and fix the relevant tests (Please,
for the love of god, someone take care of this already)
2) random crashes in certain large scripts (Derick and hopefully
Dmitry are looking into that)
3) missing phar CLI tool on windows (Greg are you looking into this?)
4) missing firebird and gmp extensions on windows (Pierre how are
things looking here?)
5) Upgrading README and general documentation updating (Philip how are
things looking there?)
There are some other todo's on the wiki:
http://wiki.php.net/todo/php53#rc3
- Fix static build of extension on windows when static is the default
and –enable-snapshot-build is used (Pierre)
- opendir() fails on Windows directories with parent directory
unaccessible (Pierre)
- very important for APC, about caching (stat cache or other) on win/
fcgi (Pierre)
- Add E_DEPRECATED if session.bug_compat_42/warn is On (already
removed in HEAD) (Kalle)
- update short_open_tag descriptions in php.ini-* as per this (Philip)
Would be nice obviously to get those fixed too.
We will release RC3 Thursday next week aka June 11th.
We will go into commit freeze on the evening of the 8th. However
please try to get things in by the 5th as we are hoping that RC3 could
become the golden stable release for 5.3.0. Lets not have some
seemingly harmless commit break things. It will result in either the
release date for RC3 slipping or having to do an RC4, both resulting
in a delayed final release.
regards,
Lukas Kahwe Smith
