http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=blob;f=README.RELEASE_PROCESS currently reads "Ensure that Windows builds will work before packaging" in the "General notes and tips" section and then later in the "Rolling a stable release" section "Once the release has been tagged, contact the PHP Windows development team (internals-...@lists.php.net) so that Windows binaries can be created." I do not think that this means that the release of the source tarball must wait for the availability of the Windows binaries. In fact, step 2g of "Getting the stable release announced" explains what to do when the Windows binaries are not available at the time of release. Please do not get me wrong: I appreciate what Microsoft in general and you, Anatol, as well as Pierre in particular have done for PHP. But no vendor -- neither Microsoft nor Red Hat nor whoever else rolls binary distributions of PHP -- should have the power to delay a release in my opinion. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
