hello,

i would like to ask what's the state of $this (and 'self') in closures. 
there seems to be no news on this topic for several month now. php 5.3.3 
was just released and still nothing has changed regarding this. so i 
would like to ask, for which php release a solution is planned.

thanks very much!

$this support in closures isn't intended to be included in the 5.3
series — the result of the vote late last year was the "modified
proposal A" documented at
http://wiki.php.net/rfc/closures/object-extension, and that has been
implemented on trunk since April, so will be in the next major version
of PHP, whatever that's actually numbered as.

i understand -- i hoped for a more early release, but this are good news 
for me anyway. is there a good place for end-users to stay up-to-date on 
such topics? i'm looking at the php RFCs every ones in a while, but 
there was no update regarding closures/$this ...

thanks for your help!
