I agree that the main issue here the release process. I don't think it's working very well now. How long ago was PHP_4_0_7 branch made? It's not that ecouraging fixing a bug or adding a new feature and telling people that the fix or feature will be released in 6 months or so. So how do we cut the time from branch to release down to 2-4 weeks?

sounds ok to me, i'll mail a faster release schedule later this day and if nobody objects i'll package rc1 tomorrow. Derick

I'm not really a developer, but i follow this list to see what changes are coming. My plans are to start developing in the future.. I don't think it's a good idea to be in such hurry with new releases. If you don't test it good enough you still have to update it later if there are any serious bugs found. I just read about this in a magazine, about releasing new versions as fast as possible without testing them enough.. I don't use the releases (using CVS) so for me it doesn't really matter, just wanted to give a comment about this. Regards Magnus Määttä
