When can I expect changes to be applied

Hello, I requested some time ago that zend_parse_parameters() be altered to accept "Z" as a parameter type in order to be able to retrieve zval**'s instead of zval*'s. I believe I was told that this change would be applied, but I haven't yet seen it appear in any of the recent distributions. I wrote a database extension which uses this functionality for a company which I am getting ready to leave. I need to make sure that they'll be able to upgrade their PHP version without running into problems. Thanks, Josh
