I notice that in the new RC1, the following reference to class constants is no longer possible:
class MyClass { const MY_CONST = 1; function __construct() { echo MY_CONST; } }
You must now use self::MY_CONST to reference the class constant. While I can see that the pre-RC1 behavior would not provide a way to access global constant if class had const of same name ... I figured I'd ask anyway whether this change is intended or a side-effect of some other fix. I fall into the category of people who were really enjoying not having to specify self:: before (so now I have a lot of code to fix, apparently).
Hey,
I fixed it intentionally. That piece of code was left over from the days of our broken namespaces implementation where we would do two lookups. Methods were fixed a long time ago but we forgot to remove the old code from constants.
