+1 Leave 5.6 as a 'clean' version so stability is retained. 5.7 is an optional stepping stone to help upgrade code, but for users of frameworks will have their content migrated from an older platform to a clean PHP7 one. It is only those users who have personal code that need help migrating. 5.7 would have sub versions as particular problems are identified in the migration process rather than encumbering PHP7 with unnecessary bloat? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
