Re: PHP 5 Bug Summary Report

Hello all, Just some observations. Keep in mind I am just trying to see in what area's we should try and find people to help out. So please do not interpret this email as me telling people what they should do with their time. However I am, just like Jani, a bit worried about the large number of assigned bugs.

Arnaud, I saw that you did a fair bit with the Apache handler, as well as the array functions. Could you look over those tickets?

===============================================[COM related]================== 31327 Assigned chinese char and word problem <snip tons more assigned>

How do we deal with extensions that get moved to PECL? I guess we close the bug and ask to get it reopened in PECL? (Boy would it be good to have one bug tracker to rule them all ..)

I guess Pierre has all of those ..

Zoe, I remember seeing you mention on IRC, that you are looking into Josie's IMAP tests. Maybe you could verify these tickets while you have things setup to test IMAP ..?

45989 Open       json_decode() passes through certain invalid JSON strings

46600 Verified "_empty_" key in objects (see #41504)

Seeing that JSON is the new XML and 2 of these bugs are verified. Could someone look into this. IIRC in the past Yahoo (aka Rasmus) was looking after this extension a lot ..
