Re: What's going on?

For the record, I don't think anyone's ever written a third of a million lines of code and gotten it all right the first time. To put this in perspective, AOL released over two dozen auto-installing patches to version 4.0 of its browser, Netscape has probably released a dozen minor updates since 4.0, and Microsoft has made several dozen updates to Windows and its components. If you're that concerned about stability and security, I suggest waiting a little bit after major versions come out. On a mission critical database server, do you go out and install a major MySQL upgrade the day it comes out? No. You wait until other people have tested it, and give TCX time to fix any bugs that crop up. In the same way, you should hold back on new PHP releases until they're more thoroughly tested if you don't want to risk the possibility of bugs. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mustansir" <mustansir@softhome.net> To: "Php Install Mailing List" <php-install@lists.php.net>; "PHP General" <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, June 30, 2000 10:06 PM Subject: [PHP] What's going on? > HI guys, > > I'm a regular php user....all out websites are php, mysql, and oracle > enabled...and we swear by LINUX when it comes to OS and web platform > selection. > > > PHP, I suppose was stabler with 3.0....patches were less frequent.... > > What happened to PHP 4????....Within a month of it's release....we already > have 2 patches.... > > On Wednesday PHP 4.0.1 gets released...and today I see another patch of it > on the site...???? > > What's going on???
