RE: [PHP-DEV] Time for 4.0.5?

Guys, I didn't put any words in Emile's mouth. I know he didn't suggest stopping to distribute .gz files. I was just describing the full 'logical path' to why I don't think that using bzip2 is a very hot idea.

So why not, if at least those modem-users would benefit of it? (that is at least, how i understood Emile). It is not a real cool solution for the problem, but its a workaround which is better than nothing. just my two ... regards, -Wolfgang -- Deutscher Knotenpunkt fur PHP: Dynamic Web Pages http://dynamicwebpages.de/ News, Tutorials, Skripte, Artikel, BestofGML, WhoIsWho, Handbuch, Bucher ...
