I have a pull request open which would do this, although it needs = updating to correct extensions checking for ZEND_ENGINE_2: = https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/829 Are there any objections to the idea? I realise work on the engine = isn=E2=80=99t done, but that doesn=E2=80=99t mean we can=E2=80=99t name = the new version. After all, we=E2=80=99ve named PHP 7, and it doesn=E2=80=99= t exist yet, either. Thoughts? -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
