I agree. This is why I suggested linking to the 4.0.1->4.0.2 NEWS section from the downloads page and putting a big "Read this". Maybe some of the main changes should even be documented in the beginning in a few more words. Andi At 08:41 AM 8/11/00 -0400, Brendan W. McAdams wrote:

The concern that should be addressed however with changing the behavior of a construct such as foreach (which I use heavily in all my code i've done with 4) is that you risk the chance of breaking someone's code. Most people who download a version upgrade will not be aware that the foreach construct has changed... just make sure the change is well announced and well documented to avoid problems. -----

It would mean you can't put obscure stuff into foreach(). The only issue that I can see with this is that foreach's behavior would not be consistent with the other looping constructs. However, I personally do not feel this is a big problem.
