Hi Internals,

with the first alpha going to be tagged today and officially released
on Thursday, I went ahead and created the 5.5 branch.  Merging should
be still straight forward, but it's going to be 5.3 -> 5.4 -> 5.5 ->
master.

I know this is a mess, but I think we'll have to live with that for
a while. Therefore bigger BC breaks can be applied to master as well.
Following the versioning scheme of 5.4.x version, I versioned master as
5.5.99 until we decide if it's going to be a 5.6.0 or a 6.0.0.

Again, if someone wnats to come up with a better plan to have a branch
open for bigger BC breaks and creating less branches, let us know.

For reference: PHP-5.5 is still open for new features.

David

Repeating what was said for 5.4.99: I don't think this is good. This makes version comparison harder. Use 5.6.0-dev. We can increase to 6.0 or 10.0 as needed.

+1, and also bump `PHP_VERSION_ID` to 50600 for that one please!

cheers,
