Just a reminder. This means today is the day to get your fixes in. Is =20=

anyone looking over Matt's patches?

Also on the wiki are several open todo items:
http://wiki.php.net/todo/php53#rc1

Please let me know if any items on there are already done.
Also let Johannes and myself know of any show stoppers that will not =20
get completed today.
Remember this is an RC, so we should be quite serious about the =20
quality we are releasing.

This is the time for bug fixes and _not_ for features. I know there is =20=

a certain tendency to put features first, since important open bug =20
fixes delay a release, while feature additions at this point will not. =20=

I ask everybody to pay "fair" and focus on getting PHP 5.3 out the =20
door, rather than rushing features in now, that take away the focus =20
from bug fixing and worse yet could add new bugs.
