(with the exception of removing PHP4 from versions.xml - which I don't really see a benefit - its imo is a fun history "fyi"?) ext/domxml is no longer available. neither is ext/overload. php.net/oop4 was moved to the Appendices... What else is PHP4 specific? We've also tried to remove any inline version info, not just php4 oldies, as it reads wrong anyway - we've even extended docbook to make it possible to keep the version info at the top available outside of refentries. Without a concrete action any decision here is useless - like you are referencing... stuff was decided almost a decade ago and still not implemented... If you find anything that is burried in deep dark places.. Feel free to fix it :) People complaining about keeping a "PHP4 historic version" are roughly 5years late to the game. We could resurrect overload and domxml and export into .html page like php3.php? Is that what they are asking for? -Hannes
