Hi,

I'm planning to release 5.6.0 from RC4 if nothing serious comes up, so this
is just a heads-up: if you think that there is some fix, which should make
into the 5.6.0 final (which isn't in RC4) or if you think that there is
some blocker issue which should be solved before the 5.6.0 final release,
please drop me an email just to be sure.

Thanks!

Hi,

just to clarify:
if no blocker issue is reported from php-5.6.0RC4, then we won't have
another RC, but php-5.6.0 (final) will be tagged using PHP-5.6.0RC4 as it
base, and maybe some commits cherry-picked (security fixes for example, or
changes with low impact like NEWS/UPGRADING/test fixes) on top of it.
so commits in the PHP-5.6 branch after the RC4 tagging won't be in the
final by default, only if you can convince me that we need that.

Hi,

it seems that we have a blocker:
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67694

ps: thanks to Florian for pinging me about it, I missed this one :(

Kudos for Tjerk for the quick fix, which seems a rather small one-liner
fix, so I'm not sure to release another RC based on RC4 plus the security
fixes, the proper fix for https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67865 and with
the fix for https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67694, or to release the final
version based on RC4 + reverting
http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commit;h=e4ff7f2ee346d641715694209e61704c9e815483
(which introduced https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67865) and with the fix
for https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67694.
Julien what do you think?

Any plan to drop the -dev from some extensions version ?

	Zend 2.6.0-dev
	OPcache v7.0.4-dev,
	mysqlnd 5.0.11-dev
	sqlite3 0.7-dev



Remi.

Hi Remi,

I've planned to do it for Zend, but didn't think about the others.
I see no harm in removing those, so if nobody objects I think it would be
fine.

I'm more in favour of releasing a GA.

So, RC4 + sec fixes (that's OK) + revert of
e4ff7f2ee346d641715694209e61704c9e815483  (done in last 5.4 and 5.5
releases) + fix for #67694.

That's the safest path to have a GA soon (we are late) and on a stable
code basis.

Then we'll start our classical support plan, and have a 5.6.1RC1 in two weeks.

in the end, I only removed the -dev suffix from the Zend version, because
all of the others have the same version number in 5.4 and 5.5, so was a bit
afraid that changing it would introduce last-minute problems.
