+ - PHP 5.4 A Major Update Designed to Help Forget 6.0-> 2

Submitted by mikejuk
mikejuk writes "PHP 5.4 has been released along with a new version of Zend Framework. It has it a number of optimizations that make it faster and smaller (early estimates say 10 to 20% faster), a built-in webserver for testing purposes, and features that had been destined for PHP 6.0.
The big addition from the now crashed PHP 6.0 project is Traits which are sort of a cross between a class and an interface and brings some of the advantages of multiple inheritance to PHP.
A good question is what happens when 5.4 evolves its way to 6.0? Will it have to be called 6(2) or something?"

  • Does it really matter what the version number is? These are great features that I am happy to see, so they could call it version 8.6.2c for all I care.

    • I'll jump in here and say .. yes.

      But, rather than reiterate this information try Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning [wikipedia.org]

      Software versioning is the process of assigning either unique version names or unique version numbers to unique states of computer software. Within a given version number category (major, minor), these numbers are generally assigned in increasing order and correspond to new developments in the software. At a fine-grained level, revision control is often used for keep

Machines that have broken down will work perfectly when the repairman arrives.
