Releases have nothing to do with this. trunk is where new development happens. Which parts end up in which releases is completely separate from this. Things may be backported to 5.3, or we do a 5.4 release branch off of trunk at some point, or we charge ahead and do a full 6.0 off of trunk. We won't know that until we get some work done in trunk, and the first step is to have an open trunk. -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
