Hi,
here are a few questions that need to be answered ASAP.
If at all possible keep your votes as short as possible. I think all
of the above topics have been discussed quite a lot on the list. So
I hope voters can spare the list needless repetition. Instead if you
think that a topic needs to be discussed, put a short note in your
vote under the given topic. If a number of people also think the
topic needs more discussion, then we can open a new thread dedicated
to this topic later this week.
1) ext/mhash in 5.3. ext/hash has all the functions, so the entire
BC break will be that "if (extension_loaded('mhash'))" will need
fixing if mhash is removed (answer both)
I) enable ext/hash by default
+1
II) remove ext/mhash
+1
2) deprecate ereg*. ext/ereg is an extension as of PHP 5.3. Since
ext/ereg is more or less redundant with ext/preg and is likely to
not get much unicode love for PHP 6, the question is if we should
mark it with a E_DEPRECATED in PHP 5.3
+1
3) resource constants (choose one)
a) Should we deprecate constant resources (mostly used to emulate
STDIN and friends)
+1
b) Should we instead just throw an E_STRICT
c) Document as is
4) keep ext/phar enabled by default in 5.3?
+0
5) keep ext/sqlite3 enabled by default in 5.3?
+1
6) enable mysqlnd by default in 5.3? (answer both)
I) enable mysqlnd by default
+1
II) also enable ext/mysql, mysqli und pdo_mysql by default since
there will be no external dependencies in this case
-1, i'd like to see ext/mysql removed
7) should Output buffering rewrite MFH? this one comes with some
baggage, we need enough people to actually have a look at how things
are in HEAD and make it clear that they will be available for bug
fixing and BC issues resolving. the risk here is obviously that any
BC issues will be hard to isolate for end users.
-0
8) MFH mcrypt cleanups in HEAD. either the make sense or they dont,
so either (choose one)
a) revert in HEAD
b) MFH to 5.3
+1
