Hi! README.RELEASE_PROCESS[1] states in the “Rolling a non stable release (alpha/beta/RC)” section[2]:
| 4. Checkout the release branch for this release (e.g., PHP-5.4.2) from | the main branch. However, it seems that the PHP-x.y.z release branch is usually only cut shortly before GA[3]. Furthermore, the “Forking a new release branch” section states that the PHP-x.y branch is supposed to be cut shortly before the first beta release[4]. So what is the proper procedure here?
