Re: before beta 2

There is no real reason why we can't adapt our habits to reflect the concepts others understand them as. AKA why not just stop calling it a BETA, and refer to it as an ALPHA? At least users would recognize what this is. On Sunday, June 29, 2003, at 11:48 PM, Rasmus Lerdorf wrote:

The problem here is just that the PHP notion of a beta is very different from what most of the world expects from a beta. We have cleaned up some aspects or our versioning and I was hoping we could clean this up as well. But I guess not. So, at the very least we need a versioning FAQ where we explain that a PHP beta is what most would consider an alpha, and the PHP release candidates is basically our beta stage. -Rasmus On Sun, 29 Jun 2003, Dan Kalowsky wrote:

Jon, I have to agree with your thinking as well. Although to the rest of internals, a plea. Can we please wait until after a weekend to send out release notifications? On Sunday, June 29, 2003, at 08:59 PM, Jon Parise wrote:

In no particular order these are the things i think should be done before releasing the next php 5 beta version:

Without going into detail on any of these specific items, I think that the only work that should be undertaken between now and the release of PHP 5 is cleanup and bug fixing. There's plenty of that to go around, and while I realize that everyone wants to get their pet feature added to or expanded in PHP 5, we need to be realistic. Any of the items that include the words "add" or "integrate" should be left for 5.1. Any items marked as "complete" or "finish" are open for debate. Any items marked as "fix" should be addressed as soon as possible. -- Jon Parise (jon@php.net) :: The PHP Project (http://www.php.net/) -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php ---------------------------------------------------------------<
