From: dsp@php.net (David Soria Parra) Hi Internals, with the first alpha going to be tagged today and officially released on Thursday, I went ahead and created the 5.5 branch. Merging should be still straight forward, but it's going to be 5.3 -> 5.4 -> 5.5 -> master. I know this is a mess, but I think we'll have to live with that for a while. Therefore bigger BC breaks can be applied to master as well. Following the versioning scheme of 5.4.x version, I versioned master as 5.5.99 until we decide if it's going to be a 5.6.0 or a 6.0.0. Again, if someone wnats to come up with a better plan to have a branch open for bigger BC breaks and creating less branches, let us know. For reference: PHP-5.5 is still open for new features. David
