Hello internals, i'd like to start 5.3 development from 5.2.2 and have 5.2.* only have security relevant changes and no new features whatsoever. For the biggest changes i'd like to see the following: 1) Adding PECL/Phar as default extension
I really don't think we need phar in core, certainly not enabled by default. If someone can make a good case for including it, I'd love to hear it.
2) Add open_filename debug info to streams
What would this mean for performance and memory usage of file ops?
3) Add object handler get_debug_info 4) Split E_STRICT into E_STRICT and E_DEPRECATED
Seems like a good idea. +1 So far I don't really see a key reason to move to 5.3, this is a significant change requiring us to maintain an additional branch at least for a few months. This is not a decision we should make lightly, for non-essential reasons. IMHO. Ilia Alshanetsky
