Subject: 5.3 todos
From: mls@pooteeweet.org (Lukas Kahwe Smith)

Hi,

It seems aside from some smaller commits, the last minute closure =20
change has gone through without issues.
Our todo list however doesnt have that many checked off items:
http://wiki.php.net/todo/php53#next_release_beta2rc1

To me the biggest issue is the UPGRADING README. So please approach =20
Steph if you want to help.

The following items remain open:
- write UPGRADING README file (Steph)
- add more tests for fileinfo (Felix/Derick)
- make all extensions use php implementation of getenv (Pierre)
- reorganize the bundled php.ini files to production/development =20
recommendations (Eric/Nathan)
- re-enable phar for big endian systems (Scott)

The following remain open and it does not seem someone is actively =20
working in it:
- Fix static build of extension when static is the default and =96enable-=20=

snapshot-build is used
- Improve the build script to ease the parsing of the output and QA
- ob_flush() should fail to flush unerasable buffers
- tokenizer misses last single-line comment
- ob_start(): inconsistent behaviour with undefined callbacks
- pcntl_signal needs declare(ticks) which is deprecated since 5.3
- opendir() fails on Windows directories with parent directory =20
unaccessible
- Bus error during build of phar.php
- PDO: persistent connection leak
- memory leak in the re2c
- fix memleak in zend_object_handlers.c
- PHP_5_3 missed merge from PHP_5_2 for write_func callback

Other issues recently raised on the list
- reflection/arginfo overlap issue
- Throwing E_DEPRECATED on startup
- casting doubles to ints

I have send out an email to several larger OSS projects that are on =20
the primary-qa-tests@lists.php.net mailinglist. BTW: please subscribe =20=

any key projects you know that are not yet on this list:
http://pooteeweet.org/blog/1439

Again, I will be offline 99% of the time starting this Saturday until =20=

March 5th. I hope that while I am gone we will have another release =20
that covers the above mentioned issues and ideally that would be RC1 =20
(unless bigger issues are uncovered that require larger changes). =20
Until then please let me know if you are taking over any of the above =20=

items so that I can update the wiki. Speaking of wiki, Pierre also has =20=

admin rights on the wiki and of course root access to the box.

regards,
Lukas Kahwe Smith
