Re: RE: [PHP-CVS] cvs: php4(PHP_4_0_5) /ext/ircg config.m4 ircg.c php_ircg.h

I disagree. Bug fixes are endless (this is not just a figure of speech), and if we schedule another RC every time someone fixes a bug, we'll never release. None of the bugs fixed since RC7 are showstoppers, so the show goes on... Zeev At 23:56 22/4/2001, derick@php.net wrote:

    It would be really inconvenient for users of PHP, if PHP
    4.0.5 would not be compatible with existing web-servers.
    Would you mind explaining how you came to the conclusion that
    PHP 4.0.5 needs to be based on the RC7 tag?

As I said last week, RC7 was to be the last RC, after which 4.0.5 would be released in the beginning of the following week (i.e. tomorrow), barring major unexpected bugs (the thttpd changes don't fall in that category). I don't think this is wise to do. Harald put in some fixes for COM support (a lot even) and Sascha's patch will fix bugs in thttpd support. I don't think it's a prob to delay the Release another week, as it's been a very long time since php4.0.4pl1 anyway. Releases with less bugs (through the patches from Harald and Sascha) are prefered over a fast release. You can see what happens if a product is release to fast if you look at the Win* OSses. regards, Derick Rethans PHP-QA ---------------------------------------------------------------------
