Hi,
great to see progress!
I have some small questions, please don't feel offended, I just want to
know and understand:
- According to this website there are still 94 test failures in 5.4 .
Can you confirm all of them are minor problems?
http://gcov.php.net/viewer.php?version=PHP_5_4
- There was this problem with 5.3.7 and the crypt() bug. Has there been
some improvement in the process of handling test failures? For example
mark expected failures as expected failures, and fix the tests or the
code? Or are the failing tests "stable" since month and all of them are
minor problems?
- There have been 319 unique failed tests in RC5, reported by user
tests. Is someone looking into them and trying to classify and/or fix them?
http://qa.php.net/reports/
All in all the number of test failures still feels very high, I would be
interested in your opinion. Is this "normal" for big projects like this?
Again, please take these questions as normal questions, I don't want to
attack anybody, I'm just interested in the process and relatively new to
internal PHP development.
Thanks for your work on PHP!

Hi!
We'll be announcing RC6 very soon, and we're planning the final
release for February 2nd. The two weeks in between are meant for
testing and finding out any critical issues that could prevent us from
releasing 5.4.0.
If we have none of these, we will proceed with the release. To ensure
this release would not have any "surprises", I am asking again to hold
your commits to 5.4 branch unless you have a critical bug fix AND it
is approved by the RMs (myself and David).
Thanks for your help!
