I typically just build manually off the latest release anyway. But not everybody does that. There are a lot of servers out there running on PHP 5.1.x right now. --Kris On Thu, Mar 1, 2012 at 3:52 PM, Reindl Harald wrote: > > > Am 02.03.2012 00:46, schrieb Kris Craig: > > […] > using > > […] > > so what > > using 5.3.x in production since 3 months after release everywhere > learning to build packages for your OS is the key --- ## #58435 — Simon Schick — 2012-03-02T00:00:50+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/58428#58435 · In reply to: #58434 Hi, all When will the documentation be ready? For example you wrote that something has changed to the keywords *continue *and *break *- but I dont get what and it's not defined in here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.continue.php Bye Simon 2012/3/2 Kris Craig > Lol agreed.

Ie. you no longer can do break $var; or continue $var; It's not telling you that you can do that, so the docs don't seem wrong. :) --- ## #58439 — David Muir — 2012-03-02T00:18:45+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/58428#58439 · In reply to: #58435 I noticed that too.

So while not perfect… the mirrors will update tomorrow, and will include additional information. Also, a few people are making migration54 commits while I type this message. :) Regards, Philip [1] https://wiki.php.net/doc/builds > I noticed that too. > > The migration guide is also missing a lot of stuff. > > A quick overview: > > http://au.php.net/manual/en/migration54.changes.php: > content missing > > http://au.php.net/manual/en/migration54.new-features.php: > missing a lot of new features listed elsewhere > > http://au.php.net/manual/en/migration54.functions.php: > missing links and documentation for several functions > > http://au.php.net/manual/en/migration54.class-constants.php: > claims that there are several new class constants, but none are listed > > http://au.php.net/manual/en/migration54.methods.php > missing links and documentation for several methods > > http://au.php.net/manual/en/migration54.new-extensions.php > nothing listed > > http://au.php.net/manual/en/migration54.extensions-other.php > "The following extensions can no longer be disabled during build > configuration: " but only one empty list element > > Cheers, > David > > > > > > > > > > > […]
