Hi! > I had a discussion with another core dev who told me he did the opposite: > develop on PHP-5.5, then move the fix/feature up to the new branches (first > PHP-5.6, then master). If you talking about developing new features, you can not develop on 5.5 because 5.5 is a stable release that is closed for new features. So you should develop against master or, in rare cases you're sure your feature is small and self-contained enough to be included in 5.6, then against 5.6. If you're developing a bugfix, however, you should start with the version the bugfix is applied to, which may be 5.5. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/
