Exactly what I thought. I've the following reasons not to make mbstring default in PHP 4.2.0 this late in the release process: 1. We're past 4.2.0rc2, and quoteing from the "Release Process Timeline": 03-04-2002 Release Candidate 2 "After RC2 is release only severe and/or critical bugs that are found in the HEAD branch should be merged" This neither qualifies as a severe or critical bug. 2. You don't know what will happen on weird platforms (such as MacOSX, HPUX or IRIX p.e.). It needs testing first 3. A lot of changes where done to this module lately 4. --enable-mbstring isn't that much typing regards, Derick ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Did I help you?
