Hi,

just a little bit of headsup:
I've just tagged the first beta and with that we entered the feature freeze
for 5.6.0.
I would like to ask you to refrain from adding new features or extending
the existing ones until we have the final release.

Expect me to start poking people about the open bugreports and test XFAILs,
and also the missing UPGRADING entries because the most important thing is
atm to make sure that we get a stable final release with proper
documentation from day 0.

Of course master is open for new features (after making sure that the
feature is supported by the majority of the devs, aka having a voted on
RFC) and based on the recent discussion the next major should be branched
out soon also.

Thanks for everybody making this possible!

Nice work! I took the liberty to quote you on
http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=27369

Some PECL extensions did not compile anymore. Most notably: mysqlnd_qc.
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67054

I had to choose 5.6.0alpha3 as PHP version in the bug report, because
5.6.0beta1 was not there yet. But I am certain that is just a little
lag.

Hi,

the bugtracker will have this version when the actual release announcement
is done.
usually we don't announce the tags(as their is a slight chance that the
windows team finds some issue when doing the windows builds for the
announcement), the only reason I did it now so that we don't end up in a
situation where somebody pushed some late feature, when the beta is already
tagged, but not announced yet.
the announcement (and the bugsweb version number) will be out as soon as
the official windows builds are ready.

I was not. With the trunk it compiles OK. I closed the bug report.
