1) Backport the namespaces patch for PHP 6
1 as soon as we have it stabilized.
2) Symlink the intl extension from PECL, but leave it disabled by default as is the case with all extensions dependent on external libs
1
3) Apply the Late Static Binding Patch
1
4) Implement David's Circular Garbage collection patch
Only if no significant performance degradation or one could turn it on/off at will.
5) Implement Sqlite3 support via the ext/sqlite extension (patch is already available)
1
6) Remove safe_mode, register_globals and magic_quotes
-1 I think it's still too early. If we have E_DEPCRECATED however we might add some annoyances to them ;)
7) Introduce mysqlind library into core and use it as a backend for PDO and mysqli extensions (possibly enabling them by default)
Introduce - +1, use as default - not sure, does mysqlnd has any downsides? If not, +1 too.
8) OpenID enabling patch for OpenSSL and PHP 5
1
9) Add array_replace[_recursive] functions (patch is already available)
0
10) Split off deprecation from E_STRICT into E_DEPRECATED
0. Why do we *need* it again?
11) Merge the zend_arg_info const'ify patch
1
12) Merge the GCC 4 -fvisibility patch
1
13) Switch for disabling/enabling materialized cursors in mysqli
0
14) Link phar extension from PECL into core (possibly enabling it by default)
-1, we discussed why :) 0 if not enabled by default.
15) Merge Matt's ZEND_SIGNED_MULTIPLY_LONG() optimization patch
1
16) Introduce new php.ini files parser/scanner + CGI/FastCGI? "htaccess" style ini file support
0. We need to check very thoroughly we won't have security trouble with it like we had with .htaccess. If it's ok then 1.
17) Merge __callStatic patch from PHP 6
1 with all other __static too.
18) Introduce concept of "strict classes" that do not permit dynamic property creation
-1 for now, not sure it's that useful, we are "dynamic" language ;) I also think the following items are not mentioned: Dynamic class access ($class::method) (binary) operator which is the same as (string) remove --enable-fastcgi and family, always enable them remove warning for var Non-parsed heredocs (nowdocs) goto __construct in interfaces Constant folding in compile-time -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
