June 10th (today): We package RC3, until then only critical build fixes and similar which have to go in the RC, after review (highlight me on IRC, mail etc.) June 11th: RC3 will be released June 11th-17th A small window for critical fixes and again please check beforehand as we don't want to introduce any new bugs that late in the game. June 17th In case there were commits after RC3 we will package a RC 4 on Wednesday next week

Ok, we are here now. So we are in a commit freeze as of this morning until sometime Wednesday. When we have tagged RC4, please only commit to 5_3 with the explicit blessing of Johannes until we release 5_3 stable or announce an extension of the RC phase. So far I want to get clarification on how set_magic_quotes_runtime(0) behaves in PHP6. I also talked to Pierre about the late changes in windows (which Johannes and I were aware of since weeks). Its clear that this change will not hold up any releases. Pierre will revert if necessary.

June 18th If needed publish RC4 June 18th - June 24th The plan is to repackage RC4 as 5.3.0 final in the beginning of the week of the 21st without any further changes so we can test the packages. In case something critical, unexpected, pops up please notify us asap. June 25th 2009 Release PHP 5.3.0 final.

We are still on track for this one. regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith mls@pooteeweet.org
