If you don't like E_STRICT you can simply set E_ALL without it in your ini, stay with a version of your likes as Steph suggested and live happily ever after. >> That said i'll let it in and if there is no valid argument against, i >> will put it into the NEWS file and the newly started >> README.UPDATE_5_2. > I already asked you (without answer) to tell me which cases you > consider critical and thus should be moved to E_ALL. Which are they? Critical? I said that any changes that have a behavior impact should be documented. I hope i didn't miss anything besides E_STRICT which faith hasn't been decided yet. But guess what, you're more then welcome to update and write additions to the update file instead of only complaining. Best regards, Marcus
