Hi 2011/9/22 Daniel Convissor <dani...@analysisandsolutions.com>: > Breaking PHP for untold thousands upon thousands of applications created > over the past nine years is a FAR bigger problem for our image.
While don't like the change due the break in a stable branch which I also wrote about in the bug report. Then I don't see why this was not caught in one of the RC packages sent out to confirm there was no behavior changes, but we got no feedback on it and went ahead. While it is unfortunate and it should have been reverted in the patch level sort of release, it wasn't. Actually it is 7 years theoretically because we don't support PHP4, while I know that the change was at our end, that still doesn't justify a change of behavior in a package. It is not like we change the inner workings of PHP when packaging the Windows port. What needs to be done here, is to simply "move on", endless rage is not solving anything, nor is it to have everyone go their way. 5.4 is coming a long greatly with the improved test cases, and I think to isolate such issues then the package maintainers should test the RC's with either popular packages in their system or related, so issues like this is caught in that process. -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen ka...@php.net -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
