Hi, There have been loads of fixes since Beta 1, so I think it's time to try and get a beta 2 out of the door. As I think three weeks is a good time frame and allows developers here to finish what they are working on, I think Monday 11th August is a good date. Does that sound OK? Maybe people here should just send a note and mention what they are working on so that we can keep track? Thanks, Andi

Besides that why again putting so much pressure? By doing so you're making wrong suggestions to our users. If you look at the list of problems and the list of errors which already made it into the bug database you should really consider a slowdown. Best regards, Marcus mailto:helly@php.net

Hmm, if we wait until all bugs are fixed we will wait for another 6 months. As the current CVS is much better than beta 1, I think it makes sense to release another one. Anyway, three weeks is a long time. About answering you... You are usually answered quite quickly. It's not always possible to answer you within two hours. Anyway, from what I can see, Zeev answered you. Andi

Yeah we fixed a lot... :-) I Hope we can continue this way What about aiming at a two months timeframe between two beta's when in that periode progress like this time has been made. Does that sound reasonable ? AG> About answering you... You are usually answered quite quickly. It's not AG> always possible to answer you within two hours.

I don't think we should make any iron rules, although I think that two months sounds quite reasonable. I would still like to see beta 2 out when I mentioned, because of the many fixes which were made. By the way, the NEWS file seems to be lacking quite a lot. Andi

I'd like to give it one to two weeks more time due to the holiday season. It's time we're getting some more test and focus on QA (and I'll be on holiday for some time :) Derick
