Andi and I are in Redmond right now, so we're kinda busy with different things... My personal view is that: - If a major (well, sub-major) version bump was required, it's really no biggy - For this case, I don't think it's required, since the heads-up is only for developers of PHP extensions, which are not that many. For others, it may be a bit obscure on why the heck we bumped the version number. - For the register_globals default change, I believe a major version bump is a very good idea, as it's exactly the kind of heads-up message we want to send to all of the users.

It's time to break the evil spell on the middle number. IMO, it does really matter if it is 4.1.0 or 4.0.7.. It's the "HEADS UP!" for people when you change the more significant version number. (and also gives a nice backdoor for breaking bc without wtf-factor :) If someone is afraid of changing it, I can volunteer. ;) Another thing, I get a segfault when php is configured like this: ./configure --with-crack=/usr/src/cracklib.2.7 --enable-experimental-zts --Jani p.s.

At any rate, whether we call it 4.1 or 4.0.7 doesn't really matter. It had to be done, and would involve the same kind of issues regardless of the name.

I really wish all these TSRM changes were left for 4.1. There are just way too many functions affected and I guarantee you that all the standalone extensions will be broken because people will not expect such breakage from a point release.

Oh, as an example PHP-GTK v0.1 now has to require latest PHP CVS or 4.0.7 because of this. Not too good. -Andrei "The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what we share with each other when we're uncool." -- Lester Bangs, from the film 'Almost Famous'
