Hi,
So let me get this straight, you are complaining that all the new
features and changes in the 5.3.0 alpha releases are not perfectly
documented yet?
PLEASE re-read the original post.
If my comments and QUESTIONS are taken as complaints then OK. That is not what
was intended.
searching on 'namespace' was not giving me anything - I did not think to try
'namespaces' - goto has not got any notes yet? - I've not even looked at phar
as it's not on the list I gave the link for so I assume it's still an optional
PECL package ...
The 'complaint' that I have is that the changes being introduced DO seem to be
bringing in problems which when corrected for 5.3 then cause other problems
for previous versions of PHP. As an example, the bitweaver framework currently
runs out of the box on PHP4 and PHP5. RUNNING it on PHP5.3 gives various
warnings and errors that handling for 5.3 then messes up previous versions
although WHEN migration is documented there may be options provided that solve
those problems?
( And PEAR comes into this equation since potentially we may have to take care
of pre and post 5.3 situations? )
Hanging fixes through the code with 'version selects' has not been necessary
much up to now but 5.3 seems to be heading that way? We are currently working
through the bitweaver 2.1 testing, on 5.2.6 and below so have not yet had time
to do any more than checking the code runs on 5.3. The list of things to be
looked at on 5.3 was growing so has had to be shelved until the next bitweaver
release is out. One has to allocate time productively and BW is currently
paying the mortgage for me!
