## #42632 — Lukas Kahwe Smith — 2009-01-15T09:49:53+00:00

URL: https://externals.io/message/42632#42632

Hello all,

Expected to be done for beta1:
- Eric and Nathan: new php.ini files
- Steph: Upgrading Guide
- Scott/Pierre: making the dsn functions available on OSX/FreeBSD/ 
Windows
- Pierre: bundling ext/enchant as an ext/pspell replacement
- Ettienne/Lars/Guilherme: patch for `spl_object_id()`/spl_object_hash()?
- Stas/Pierre: build IDs proposal

Under discussion:
- How to deal with "foo.php?a.b.c = 10" in 5.3.0  (forward  
compatibility?)
- LFS (http://php.markmail.org/message/rhqy2wu5eu5253fm) (probably not)
- Prototype/Closures
- SPL ArrayAccess offsetExists default behavior

Not sure:
- Zoe: not sure where this item on the todo list came from: Improve  
the build script to ease the parsing of the output and QA
- not sure where this item on the todo list came from: Fix static  
build of extension when static is the default and –enable-snapshot- 
build is used
- make all extensions use php implementation of getenv (Pierre)

Freeze looks like it will happen on Monday in the morning CEST

regards,
Johannes and Lukas

hi Lukas!

It is done already.

> - Pierre: bundling ext/enchant as an ext/pspell replacement

I'm ready and waiting for a cvs admin to copy the tree to php-src.

There is no chance to get that done for 5.3. The patch is not complete
and we need to think a bit more about other related issues while
working on that (big int support is one important problem to solve
too).

It can be done anytime, it is a build script issue only :) I'm not
sure I can fix it for b1 but it will be fixed.

> - make all extensions use php implementation of getenv (Pierre)

that's a bug fix, can be done later too.

Cheers,
