Re: PHP 8 Preview Releases

Hi Joe, I think, PHP-8 preview is too early. We even didn't freeze PHP-7.4 yet, and PHP-8 didn't get any new major features (may be I forgot something) only deprecations and some internal improvements . According to JIT, it's probably going to be changed a lot in the nearest future. Thanks. Dmitry. ________________________________ From: Joe Watkins <krakjoe@php.net> Sent: Friday, March 29, 2019 3:40:04 PM To: release-managers@php.net; PHP internals; Dmitry Stogov Subject: PHP 8 Preview Releases Morning internals, Since we now have a result for JIT and we know it will be included in PHP 8, I think it's time to visit the idea brought up in discussion to have preview releases of PHP 8. I'm interested in hearing what kind of schedules we think are going to be useful - it's tempting to say let's track PHP-7.4 releases, possibly with a bi-monthly interval, but I'm not sure if that may be too soon, or too slow, or too fast. Thoughts please (especially from Dmitry) ? Cheers Joe
