Hello! there is a critical issues in PHP 4.4.5: - when register_globals = On, sessions don't work correctly (segfaults). Because of this I'd like to release a 4.4.6 soon with this fixes. As there is also an upgrade to pcre 7.0 we'd need atleast one RC, which I plan to release on Thursday. Any opinions? regards, Derick

Agree, I believe one RC is required in this particular case. Looks good to me.

RC followed by a quick release sounds like a good plan. When do you plan to make the RC? On 20-Feb-07, at 7:55 AM, Derick Rethans wrote:

PCRE sounds like a destabilizing element, but if confidence is high(?) It would be nice to see a bugfix-only 4.4.x and 5.2.x release very soon, seeing the regressions that have been introduced after the RC phase has begun for the last few releases :) Speaking for joe user here (I patch around them). I have time to examine and run one RC per release here through the paces and not a whole lot more, and I'm pretty sure other testers are in the same place, so to keep adding destabilizing changes after the RC cycles begin - it sort of bites :) Bill

Good question. What's about 4.4.6 with only the required fix(es)? Or is there very good reason to update pcre now? --Pierre

4.4.6 with required fixes seems the safest and fastest. Certainly for those who can't/won't downgrade to 4.4.4 but find 4.4.5 problematic.

Hi Derick, Attached is a very simple patch for Bug #40115 (possibly wrong numeric string comparison caused by overflow) if you want to fix it in 4.4. :-) Matt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Derick Rethans" Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2007
