-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The third release candidate of PHP 5.2.0 is finally out and the source packages can be found here: http://downloads.php.net/ilia/php-5.2.0RC3.tar.bz2 (79a9e8ecd8edcfcc033bbd49967ad47a) http://downloads.php.net/ilia/php-5.2.0RC3.tar.gz (735c8f0385483afc732c09c5bb4257a3) Win32 binaries will follow shortly. Compared to previously RCs the list of changes is very minimal, hopefully a sign indicating that we are getting closer to the final and that things are getting more stable. The two important fixes in this release address a memory corruption in the new memory manager and the shutdown order of the session extension. Please try this release and let us know if you encounter any problems.

Hi Ilia, Can you post it also on the front page of php.net? As we are getting closer to release 5.2.0 we should make sure that we get as many beta testers as possible. My experience is that internals@ isn't enough... Thanks. Andi

Hi Andi, Rock vs hard place - RC's were announced on php.net and distributed via the download page for some several months in the past. It led to a lot of user confusion, particularly when there were any binary compat breakages, and the RMs went back to simply announcing RCs on the internals list due to that. Isn't there any half-way house on this? - Steph ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andi Gutmans" <andi@zend.com> To: "'Ilia Alshanetsky'" <ilia@prohost.org>; <internals@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, September 01, 2006 5:48 AM Subject: RE: [PHP-DEV] PHP 5.2.0RC3 Released

Primary tester mailinglist: primary-qa-tester@lists.php.net Wez is still in the process of configuring things, but once its up there will be an effective way of notifying the world at large about RC's. regards, Lukas

I was thinking more of a separate downloads page... if it's going to be announced on php.net (and it seems it is), it'd be good to keep RCs in a completely separate place at least. I know everyone's been using php.net/~ilia or php.net/~derick anyway, but would it be better to have a consistent link page _just_ for RC's, perhaps with a paragraph on it explaining exactly what a Release Candidate is? Just my 2 sheks. - Steph

You mean like http://qa.php.net/ ? ;-) Ilia Alshanetsky

--- and link to it from the www.php.net announcement? Yep, that'd work :)

They are all listed in the qa.php.net homepage: http://qa.php.net/ By the way, it would be nice to remove the old RC (php 4.4.4RC1 is still listed). --Pierre

Agreed. Also there is nothing there to tell users what RC means. Could someone find time to make an explanatory page on qa.php.net if there isn't one already? (and provide a link to it from the qa homepage?) - Steph

The more exposure the release candidate gets, the better. At least we won't find the problems after we release. We will get a very small amount of people who actually test the RC on these two lists. I don't think we need to update the official downloads page. ~ilia or qa.php.net are both fine Btw, as long as we say "Release Candidate" someplace, people will know what that is. It's a very well known term and no one will confuse that with an official release. I think it's all about minimizing the risk of a release, especially a minor release, breaking stuff. Andi

Andi, Let's wait for Edin to make win32 binaries and then we can do that. Ilia Alshanetsky
