5.3.0 stable delayed until next Tuesday
Aloha,
As most of you following this list have noticed, alot of last minute
stuff has been brought up. So it goes.
Johannes and Pierre have put in extra time in trying to still make it
for a release tomorrow, however as the stream of patches and open
issues has continued even today, we have decided to play it safe and
move the release date to next Tuesday. We will package tomorrow
evening and push out the release to mirrors next Monday.
Again we urge everybody to only commit into 5_3 after Johannes has
reviewed the patch. Therefore all patches should be send to internals.
That being said this is the list of things we are still looking into
at this point:
- mysqlnd crash
- jvlad's sparc "tmp is not being properly initialized by INIT_ZVAL"
issue
- possibly a crash fix in Date (Derick any news on that?)
Everything else will have to wait for 5.3.1, this includes:
- Stas's proposed change to make JSON optionally shared on windows
- Greg's openssl phar fix
- Christians spl_autoload_unregister closure fix
- David's Datetime SOAP addition
- Improvements to re2c parsing with certain file sizes
- etc.
Again we are trying to wrap things up here. So we are really focusing
on the worst of segfaults/crashes etc.
regards,
Johannes and Lukas
