This seems like a reasonable adjustment to the schedule in order to finalize these features. I'll do beta4 tomorrow/thursday, and we should plan for RC1 branching in two weeks. Wiki ( https://wiki.php.net/todo/php80 ) has been updated to reflect this. Note that I have NOT moved the GA date at this time, as that would push us into Dec 10th. Though as the date approaches we may decide to add RC5 back in for safety despite the perinavidinal timing. -Sara P.S. Yes, I made that word up. You know which one. --000000000000187bb405af473a60--
