It's probably best to base this version on the 4.2.0 branch as the

want to do some testing of my own).

I would very appreciate it to wait until RC3 is reached for the PHP_4_2_0 release, otherwise all attention will go to ZE2/PHP, and the attention for the release process/ testing will be drastically reduced.

We're on RC 1 now. Do you have any idea when we'll be at RC3? What if we don't reach RC3? :) We will reach RC3, you can trust me on that :) If everything goes according plan, it will be April 12, 2002.

Okay but I don't quite understand why I should wait. There are tens of thousands of people who come to php.net. It's not like you won't have any testers for 4.2.0 especially as you are inviting a much larger community then in the past. (And we managed without their testing in the past too). You should have lots of testers. I will make it clear that this is only something I want people to play with. Andi
