To me this indicates your beta releases are way too far apart. If the only way to see where you stand is by grabbing source from CVS and doing a build, you're probably cutting your effective beta testers by an order of magnitude. Not sure why so much time is needed, but this thinking might work against the goals of a beta program. It feels more like an alpha.There were some alpha characteristics between B2 and B3. A major chunk was revised in Zend, something that took quite some time to stabilize; The UNIX build process was revolutionized; And plenty of code was otherwise modified, improved or added. B3 is a great step towards the final release of PHP 4.0 though. B4 shouldn't take nearly as long. Zeev -- Zeev Suraski <zeev@zend.com> http://www.zend.com/
