Codenames are cool, but using our own names is no-so-cool.  We should
pick a theme though, but please not Australian wildlife (we're already
using that for the alltheweb.com frontend ;-).

What about the cities and towns developers live in?

 It's probably best to base this version on the 4.2.0 branch as the
 4.3.0 will probably take some time to be stable due to the huge amount
 of streams changes.

  Why not make two tarballs when PHP 4.2.0 gets released? One with the
  Zend Engine 1, and the other with the ZendEngine2 branch of /php4 and
  Zend Engine 2?

I just realized that 4.2.0 is planned for the 22nd of April. I was hoping 
to get out something earlier. I think the 4.2.0 branch is good enough. In 
any case there will be a thousands disclaimers that this is just a preview 
version to toy with and not to use it for actual production work.

 Good idea.

Please make sure to mark one with ZE2 experimental, not to be used in
production, etc. Imagine the confusion if the two got mixed up somehow.

 I will try and get something packaged in the next couple of weeks (I still 
 want to do some testing of my own).

I would very appreciate it to wait until RC3 is reached for the PHP_4_2_0 
release, otherwise all attention will go to ZE2/PHP, and the attention for 
the release process/ testing will be drastically reduced.

We're on RC 1 now. Do you have any idea when we'll be at RC3?
What if we don't reach RC3? :)

 Good idea.

Some roadmap or plan for the future is needed.

Are we going to maintain module compatibility for both ZE1 and ZE2?

If yes, I would like to see function name, class name and constants name
case sensitivness in PHP5

AFIAK, user should take a look at thier scripts carefully due to new
name space and object handle, anyway. Most conversion form case
insensitive name to case sensitive name can be done automatically.

Sorry guys. This is the last time to ask for case sensitivity ;)
This may be the last chance for PHP to be case sensitive.

  Okay but I don't quite understand why I should wait. There are tens of
  thousands of people who come to php.net. It's not like you won't have any
  testers for 4.2.0 especially as you are inviting a much larger community
  then in the past. (And we managed without their testing in the past too).

We managed in the past because there were more than 4 active QA-ers. The
effort is really degrading at this moment. Announcing it on php.net
brought only 2 members so far :I

Damn, that sucks.

  You should have lots of testers.

Unfortunately that is not the case.

  I will make it clear that this is only something I want people to play 
 with.

Okay... I want to play with it too :)

:)
