Re: towards alpha2

Hi Lukas

- shutdown order issues (Greg)

Greg will be back on board next week, but I think this was a ZE item anyway?

Yes, probably something for Stas or Dmitry?

There's a patch out there (from Greg): http://php.markmail.org/search/?q=%22potential+shutdown+order%22+list%3Anet.php.lists.internals that removes regular_list destruction from the Engine and puts it into main.c. There was some discussion with Stas at the time, who more or less ended up in agreement with Greg once he realized there was no dl() involved in the scenario - but no movement, and no alternative proposal. Shutdown order is historically problematic, as I'm sure you're aware - we need to be 100% sure about this one.

- unix path separators in spl (Steph/Greg/Marcus)

Didn't know that one was on any list, sorry. I committed a flag to provide unix paths in SPL iterators a couple of weeks ago.

ok, marked as done.

Thanks.

these are the ml posts i was referring t:o http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=121626110032715

rmdir etc are working now (Dmitry fixed that during his Phar-week).

Dmitry also improved performance while he was in there, but whether Greg will still want to try and squeeze a few more ms out of it is another matter :)

You're missing the UPGRADE file from your TODO?

I have upgrading the 5.3 scratchpad as a perpetual todo on the wiki. I guess starting with the beta we should have an UPGRADE file though.

OK, let me know when. - Steph
