BC break list?

Hello everyone.. I woke up this morning with an idea, that I think would be useful: a BC break list. I think that could benefit alot of people, and I don't think it would be that much work to implent (I can do the scripting if noone else cares to). I would need some input from you guys though, things like where to find a complete list of all releases (including RC's and Betas), then we'd need to assemble all BC breaks. This would help server administators greatly when deciding whether to upgrade or not, and the scripters to make scripts that runs on all versions. It could be just a regular list, or something more sophisticated, where you could select two versions and see the breaks.. Comments anyone? Is it doable? Does it already exist? // DvDmanDT

Like the following? http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.migration4.php http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.migration5.php Beyond that in theory there should be no BC breaks in anything but major versions. Then again history tells us that theory does not match practice. So maybe we do need something more finely grained. regards, Lukas
