I don't see any reason why we should even have the idea to integrate O+ when it's possible to do it without any delay. Where is the big advantage of letting customers waiting longer than needed? (Yes, they can install it from PECL, but this is a suboptimal solution as it is no reason why installing PHP 5.5) A major release has to have a sense. There are generators... A finally keyword... list in foreach...!??? Shiny new features is the right name for this. Nothing you need. It may clean up code to use them, but this is not important enough to update, deal with the deprecated mysql extension, test the environment if everything works with it. Also a lot of users have PHP versions older than PHP5.4. Some of them may still relay on removed features like these magic_quotes etc. They all have to change their code for an update. If there is nothing really important like a faster opcode cache (faster than APC), less crashes under high load (we have sometimes these unreproducible reports in the bug list...), they don't matter about it. Please name me a few good reasons what sense releasing a PHP version nobody (who is not a developer) cares about it makes. Bob (p.s.: I like also these shiny features, but if they'd be so important, you could also install from trunk. (That's what I do.) And don't tell me the myth that only releases can be stable. Only a few weeks after the introduction of a new feature it is often as stable as in the future major version.) -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
