Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Quick missing NEWS entry questions

Hi!

Generally, each substantial change should be in the NEWS under the 
version in which it appeared (for 5.4, all pre-release versions will be 
consolidated on release).

> And if I do put it in, do I put it in both trunk and branches/PHP_5_4 ?

No, only 5.4 as it's the first version it appeared in (in trunk, it's 
not NEWS anymore).

> Also, everyone is using first names only in NEWS but Andrew is not unique
> in the file, should I use my full name, full, first name + initial?

I'd advise the full name. First name only is usually used by people who 
are frequent committers so it is known who exactly that is.
