Hash: SHA1

As promised two weeks ago, the 5.2.4RC2 was released today and the  
sources for the release can be found here:

http://downloads.php.net/ilia/php-5.2.4RC2.tar.bz2 (md5sum:  
dc6589d253b4ac5010603c5927f33546 )

Windows binaries should become available in short order as well.

All in all the feedback on RC1 has been largely positive and since it  
was released another 20+ fixes were added to the code as well as a  
plethora of new test cases, which bumps up the code coverage to 53%.  
The number of changes in the CVS have petered off in the last few  
days, which is usually a sign that we are ready for a final release,  
or that everyone is on vacation. Please try this RC out on your code  
and report back any critical issues you may discover. If all goes  
well the plan is to have the final release done by the end of next week.

We still need to get the Windows builds using the latest libmysql or at
least a downgrade to solve bug #41350. The code is already checked in to
fix it, we just need the new library.

I've emailed Edin and assigned him the bug a few weeks ago but no reply
yet, is someone else got access to the build machine to do the upgrade?

I believe this should block 5.2.4 as on Windows when using CGI / CLI
this causes an error message to get printed at the bottom of every page
as well as holding on to a connection for 30s more than needed as MySQL
waits for the resources to be freed.

Hopefully Edin will have the time to upgrade the MySQL lib on the  
build farm, thanks letting me know.

PCRE was updated, GD tests are non-critical, but I don't believe they  
were merged. Keep in mind that TODO was not done by me, so its not a  
word of law in terms of what's required to make the 5.2.4 release.

We also need newer libtidy & snmp on the build host.
Don't know if Edin has updated them already, if he hasn't, then this must be done asap, we're too close to the release..

Tony,

What are the reasons for needing to upgrade tidy and snmp libs at  
this time aside from "newer is better"?

Edin,

I noticed that I can't download 5.2.4RC installer builds; getting a
403 - Forbidden error.

Also the latest snapshot log is complaining about 'Access is denied':

Security problems in both libs which are not reproducible in newer versions.

I will look into this later tonight. I have very little time on my hands
so a list of libraries that need updating would be very much appreciated.

I've noticed the following links not working

http://downloads.php.net/edink/php-5.2.4RC1-win32-installer.msi
http://downloads.php.net/edink/php-5.2.4RC2-win32-installer.msi

Not sure what I can do to help with snaps without access to the build
machine. I did update the wix binaries in CVS which might have
something do with it, although I have been able to build successfully
locally.

Thanks...

Hi Edin!

While checking the list, libpng came to my mind. I'm not sure what
which version we use now, but this library also had issues in the last
2-3 months, it would be nice to use the last version.

By the way, once you have updated them, can you update the zip.zip too? :)

Thanks for your work!

Speaking of which - who's managing the todo? I have a couple of items 
for 5.3 one...

I am going to make that one myself and the post an aggregate online.  
If you have stuff you would like to see in 5.3, please e-mail that  
information to me directly.
