PHP 5.3.1 RC 1

Hi, following Ilia's notice I want to give a heads-up for 5.3.1 RC1, too. We have quite many fixes in SVN and the packaging script was successful in my test. I want to try to keep it along the same schedule as Ilia with 5.2 so we can keep commit limitations - in case we need them - as limited as possible. This means: "The aim is to have RC1 next week thursday and if all goes well a final release by the end of August." The biggest item I want to see fixed is the Sparc memory alignment bug (#48668) which currently gives lots of trouble when using PHP on SPARC, David is working on that and hopes to get a fix till RC1 done. Jani and others pointed me this morning (Europe time) to a few other bugs on IRC, if you see any critical issues please let me know. Thanks, johannes P.S. What is the current proposed tagging strategy? One of the proposals in a thread about that was Creating a branch (cp in branches/), verify it, converting to a tag (mv banches/... tags/) -- any experience there?
