New PHP4 Based on Zend 2.0 Engine Almost Ready for Release

If you've read the Zend 2.0 Engine documentation, you'll know that PHP4 is getting a BUNCH of cool functionality To: php-dev at lists dot php dot net <mailto:php-dev@DOMAIN.HIDDEN> From: Andi Gutmans <andi at zend dot com <mailto:andi@DOMAIN.HIDDEN>> Date: Sat, 23 Mar 2002 12:38:12 +0200 Hey, Most big language changes planned for the Zend Engine 2 have been made. I think it's not a good idea to make many more changes before we get out a version based on the current changes. The changes have been deep in the guts of the Engine and we should get it rock solid before thinking of more things which might be nice to add. I need LOTS of testing and already know of some code which might need some improvement. I would like to package a preview version to get a large PHP audience to check it out and test drive it a bit. I think if I improve the ZEND_CHANGES document that should be enough documentation to get people to test drive things. It's probably best to base this version on the 4.2.0 branch as the 4.3.0 will probably take some time to be stable due to the huge amount of streams changes. I will try and get something packaged in the next couple of weeks (I still want to do some testing of my own). Andi
