Subject: AW: [PHP-DEV] Upgrade notes for 5.1
From: mp@webfactory.de ("Matthias Pigulla")


I think all of us who were upset making the transition to 4.4.0 would =
greatly appreciate if (in the future) there will not only be short =
"there's a new release" notices, but if these notices would directly =
point to a list like this one.=20

E. g. MySQL does a pretty good job with their upgrade notes, so you know =
before the upgrade what problems to expect; they also explicitly list =
all the "incompatible changes" (and there are quite some with MySQL5).

Maybe for some folks on this list the changes are well-known or obvious =
and compiling a list like this one seems to be unnecessary. But most of =
the sysops and developers out there don't have the time to keep up with =
all the changes and don't like the fear of shooting themselves in the =
foot with every new update/-grade/release. And they are especially =
afraid after what happened with 4.4.0, so this is a good step to =
reestablish some trust.

Put simply, this is the professionalism expected in =
"business/enterprise" environments :).
