Sorry Ferenc ... that was just a little dig at the people commenting on the minutia of how a vote should be carried out ;) The other questions were the important bit ... -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.ukAlso see Anatol latest post to internals, the sample extension shows the difference between a 5.3/4/5 code and one supporting 5.3/4/5 and with the int64 patch with the option #2 and #3. The changes are really straightforward and far less intrusive than without these options.I see that the vote currently has swung from yes to no for including in 5.6 but actually there is no option to include it even in PHP6? The improvement is required, needs proper planning because of the impact on many third parties, and should be planned now on the basis of a new PHP6.Nobody said that if rejected this can't be considered for PHP6. On the contrary, many of the no voters explained that they would have voted yes if the target version would have been 6.0.
