Julien, could you in future separate the mail to announce from the other lists, so these auto responders only hit you and announce list moderators? :-) (release process readme might need an update to make this explicit, too) johannes --- ## #70110 — Julien Pauli — 2013-11-14T12:25:25+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/70106#70110 · In reply to: #70109 On Thu, Nov 14, 2013 at 1:13 PM, Johannes Schlüter wrote: > Daniel, > > > > > […] > > this is caused by an auto-responder of some system subscribed to the > announce list replying to everybody ... please ignore it. > > > Julien, > > could you in future separate the mail to announce from the other lists, > so these auto responders only hit you and announce list moderators? :-) > (release process readme might need an update to make this explicit, too) > Understood :-) Julien --- ## #70113 — Andrea Faulds — 2013-11-14T13:58:33+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/70106#70113 · In reply to: #70106 > Le 14 novembre 2013 à 10:43, Julien Pauli a écrit : > > > Hi! > > The PHP development team announces the immediate availability of PHP 5.5.6. > This release fixes several bugs against PHP 5.5.5, and adds some > performance improvements for some functions. > Hi, the Changelog seems to be omitting this:  - Fixed whitespace part of bug #64874 ("json_decode handles whitespace and case-sensitivity incorrectly"). (Andrea Faulds) Yes, it is a partial bugfix, but it should be mentioned nonetheless. I've checked and this commit was in the php-5.5.6 tag. Could it be fixed?

My bad, that was indeed in the php-5.5.6 tag but it was for 5.5.*7*.

Oops. This is my fault as I branched the release from 5.5 stable instead of 5.5.6RC1 , so we have a commit in 5.5.6 which should not be in (thus the NEWS does not mention it). Nothing blocking, fortunately , but I'll definetly do better branching in the future and branch releases from previous RCs, which is just the way to do it. I'll also give more time comparing the NEWS file with the commit tree :-) Julien
