Why do you see it as a problem? They should be doing their own releases after our releases. ie. They should say that this version works with PHP 4.0.5. People should know that when they get the bleeding edge..it might not work at all.. There have been also other changes (e.g. in Zend) which might break those extensions. So I don't really see this renaming as a big problem. This renaming was only done because the configure system is getting pretty big and those macros looked like autoconf one's, a fact that confused me (only me? :) many times. Now if someone would be so kind and documented the usage of those macros a bit better. :-) --Jani
