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 5th 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.
PHP5.5.0alpha5 also adds some fix commits against
alpha4 and introduce new features such as the ability to change the tmp dir
through php.ini directive, new HTTP status codes and mysqli/mysqlnd API
improvements.
Please test your code carefully with PHP 5.5.0alpha5
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-5.5.0alpha5/NEWS<https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-5.5.0alpha1/NEWS>
The next release should begin the beta stage, we had a delay in beta stage
due
to some late coming features.
For your information, we won't accept any new feature in the betas starting
with the 2nd one.
Betas are meant to consolidate the code, fix the bugs, and improve quality
to lead to a stable release. The first beta is now planned for March 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
