Hello,
I've just renamed the 5.4 branch to THE_5_4_THAT_ISNT_5_4 and moved
trunk to the branch FIRST_UNICODE_IMPLEMENTATION.
The next things to do is to re-create trunk from PHP 5.3; I've hold off
that for now, but I'd like to do the following soon:
- Declare 5.2 security fixes only (Something for Ilia to declare).
- Declare 5.3 bug fixes only (and ini-mini features if so desired)
(Something for Johannes to declare).
Once that's done, I'd like to:
- Recreate trunk from the 5.3 branch.
Before we add features, they need to be discussed whether we want to
have them. As version name for it I would like to use "trunk-dev" (and
not 5.4-dev or 6.0-dev) as we're not quite sure where this is moving.
Right now, there are the following features that I can see we should
think about:
- the new output buffering mechanism (I can not really see why we would
not want this)
- Scott's big number improvements. Scott, can you explain (in an RFC)
what exactly this does and how it works?
- Ilia's scalar type hint patch. There are RFCs:
http://wiki.php.net/rfc/typechecking
- traits, there are also RFCs:
http://wiki.php.net/rfc/horizontalreuse
http://wiki.php.net/rfc/nonbreakabletraits
with kind regards,
Derick
