Subject: PHP 5.3.1 RC 1
From: johannes@php.net (Johannes =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Schl=FCter?=)

Hi, 

following Ilia's notice I want to give a heads-up for 5.3.1 RC1, too. We
have quite many fixes in SVN and the packaging script was successful in
my test.

I want to try to keep it along the same schedule as Ilia with 5.2 so we
can keep commit limitations - in case we need them - as limited as
possible. This means:

 "The aim  is to have RC1 next week thursday and if all goes well a
  final release by the end of August."

The biggest item I want to see fixed is the Sparc memory alignment bug
(#48668) which currently gives lots of trouble when using PHP on SPARC,
David is working on that and hopes to get a fix till RC1 done.

Jani and others pointed me this morning (Europe time) to a few other
bugs on IRC, if you see any critical issues please let me know.

Thanks,
johannes

P.S. What is the current proposed tagging strategy? One of the proposals
in a thread about that was Creating a branch (cp in branches/), verify
it, converting to a tag (mv banches/... tags/) -- any experience there?
