Hello everyone, You are receiving this email because your project has been selected to take part in an effort by the PHP QA Team to make sure that your project still works with PHP versions to-be-released. With this we hope to make sure that you are either aware of things that might break, or to make sure we don't introduce any strange regressions.
The fourth alpha for 5.5 was just released and can be downloaded from: http://qa.php.net/ The Windows binaries are available at http://windows.php.net/qa/ PHP 5.5.0 contains a lot of new features and bugfixes. PHP5.5.0alpha4 also adds some fix commits against alpha3 and introduce new features such as class name resolution as scalar or the DateTimeImmutable object. Please test your code carefully with PHP 5.5.0alpha4 to help us release a stable new PHP version. For a list of new features and bugfixes that you can target in your testing, please refer to the NEWS file: https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-5.5.0alpha4/NEWS<https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-5.5.0alpha1/NEWS> The next release will begin the beta stage. For your information, we won't accept any new feature in the betas. Betas are meant to consolidate the code, fix the bugs, and improve quality to lead to a stable release. The first beta is planned for February 7th. In case you think that other projects should also receive this kind of emails, please let us know privately, and we will add them to the list of projects to contact. Regards, Julien Pauli and David Soria Parra
