Its been about a week since RFS for features to go into 5.3 has gone out and while there was not a "flood" of ideas there is a substantial list of key changes people would like to go into this release. I've compiled a list of all of the suggestions I've received, they are listed below in a form that will hopefully make it easy for people to vote their yeys and nays. My hope that we can reach an agreement within 1-2 weeks so 5.3 can be branched and work on it can begin. List of Feature Ideas ---------------------------- 1) Backport the namespaces patch for PHP 6 1 0 -1

+1

2) Symlink the intl extension from PECL, but leave it disabled by default as is the case with all extensions dependent on external libs 1 0 -1

-1 Wait until it is stable and feature complete (guess it wouldn't be in time a for a 5.3 release), otherwise, we might run into the problem that minor releases have different functionalities.

3) Apply the Late Static Binding Patch 1 0 -1

+1

4) Implement David's Circular Garbage collection patch 1 0 -1

-1 Is that really tested well enough already?

5) Implement Sqlite3 support via the ext/sqlite extension (patch is already available) 1 0 -1

0

6) Remove safe_mode, register_globals and magic_quotes 1 0 -1

-1 Why break BC in a .x release?

7) Introduce mysqlind library into core and use it as a backend for PDO and mysqli extensions (possibly enabling them by default) 1 0 -1

0

8) OpenID enabling patch for OpenSSL and PHP 5 1 0 -1

0

9) Add array_replace[_recursive] functions (patch is already available) 1 0 -1

0

10) Split off deprecation from E_STRICT into E_DEPRECATED 1 0 -1

+1 And 0 for the rest of them.
