The next things to do is to re-create trunk from PHP 5.3; I've hold off that for now, but I'd like to do the following soon: - Declare 5.2 security fixes only (Something for Ilia to declare). - Declare 5.3 bug fixes only (and ini-mini features if so desired) (Something for Johannes to declare). Once that's done, I'd like to: - Recreate trunk from the 5.3 branch. Before we add features, they need to be discussed whether we want to have them. As version name for it I would like to use "trunk-dev" (and not 5.4-dev or 6.0-dev) as we're not quite sure where this is moving. Right now, there are the following features that I can see we should think about: - the new output buffering mechanism (I can not really see why we would not want this) - Scott's big number improvements. Scott, can you explain (in an RFC) what exactly this does and how it works? - Ilia's scalar type hint patch. There are RFCs: http://wiki.php.net/rfc/typechecking - traits, there are also RFCs: http://wiki.php.net/rfc/horizontalreuse http://wiki.php.net/rfc/nonbreakabletraits with kind regards, Derick -- http://derickrethans.nl | http://xdebug.org Like Xdebug?
