Saw the below message on the PHP list.
It scares me a little to go on the 5.3.0 bandwagon. Looks like that the PHP guys are in a rush to get 5.3.0 out.
Just wondering if any of you have experience with PHP 5.3.0. When I see the changes over 5.2.x I expect that most of my sites are not running out of the box. My situation is, when a site of my is not running with 5.3.0, then I have to stick with 5.2.x. This because I have too less experience with PHP to make code changes.
Please post your experience ?

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. |
A reply on above message: | Quote: | | Do you think it's worth to push out an RC5 and release it as 5.3.0 only changing the version number between them? I saw other projects doing this and I think it helps to prevent major issues due to last-time fixes. I have this feeling that 5.3.0 release is going to be traumatic! |

| I see things this way ... in the software world ... new is never better ... only after time does it become so. If you want to be the guinea pig, dive in, if not wait a couple build and see. JMO of course. |
