Hi,
I wrote a mail last Friday about this but it seems like it got
lost. I
wanted to go RC on Thursday, as this now would be a rather short-
time
announcement (while quite a few devs already knew) this plan has
changed
by a week:
PHP 5.3.0 RC 1 is now scheduled for Thursday 2009/03/19.
This means we'll enter the pre-build commit-freeze for build fixes
only
on Wednesday 2009/03/18.
Just a reminder. This means today is the day to get your fixes in.
Is anyone looking over Matt's patches?
Also on the wiki are several open todo items:
http://wiki.php.net/todo/php53#rc1
Please let me know if any items on there are already done.
Also let Johannes and myself know of any show stoppers that will
not get completed today.
Remember this is an RC, so we should be quite serious about the
quality we are releasing.
This is the time for bug fixes and _not_ for features. I know there
is a certain tendency to put features first, since important open
bug fixes delay a release, while feature additions at this point
will not. I ask everybody to pay "fair" and focus on getting PHP
5.3 out the door, rather than rushing features in now, that take
away the focus from bug fixing and worse yet could add new bugs.
Ok, since there is too much last minute stuff going on and we are
aiming for a release quality RC1, we have decided to move the
release date to next Tuesday, the 24th.
Bug fixing until this Friday. Any other bug fixing over the weekend
needs the nod of one of the RMs. Build fixing Monday. Release Tuesday.
At the request of Pierre, I am tightening the commit window.
Please finish all bug fix commits by Thursday.
If there are any last minute discoveries, you can ask Johannes and
myself to be allowed to commit on Friday. The later in the day the
request comes, the less likely we are to approve the commit.
Anything after that (including commits to the test suite) will need to
be reverted unless its a build fix. Please do not waste time doing
reverts. Release candidates need proper QAing ahead of time. In the
future we will try to stick with Thursday releases with a commit
freeze starting the Tuesday before, to give two full week days of
build fixing.
As such it would be appreciated if people can spend some time on the
weekend to do as much build fixing as possible to ensure that we can
get done on Monday in order to release on Tuesday.
regards,
