There hasn't been a lot of PHP 3 testing done recently. 98% of it is done
by me, but becuase of a number of network problems I have had recently. I
have been unable to test it. I will however, test it before release and fix
any problems.
I agree 100% with the licensing issues of PHP 4. It really bothers me on
the choices the PHP devteam has made.
I personally use PHP 4 for my current development. It offears quite a speed
boost. My code very rarley breaks PHP 3, becuase thats where I started my
learning.

Belive me, I am 100% concerned. We are the only PHP project of this size
that feels backwords compatibilty is very important. Having someone else
looking over our shoulders helps a great deal. Having a handfull of the
developers testing it only turns up a few errors. I would greatly
appericate it if you would submit some patches against current cvs.

No problem. It only gets better :)
