experimentalworks

Approaching the 5.3 release of PHP, a lot of features were introduced
and discussed at the internals mailinglist. This includes closures, traits
and various other patches. Some of these patches are on hold and not yet
applied. Therefore only a few people can take a look at the new features. Particularly because they scare patching PHP themselves or they run into troubles while patching. To make those patches available for a wider audience
I start maintaining a PHP 5.3-exp branch containing experimental features and
patches.

Who is the audience:

• (Core) Developers that don’t want to maintain their own patch series
• Developers that want to discuss recent proposals at the mailinglist
• PHP lovers, that want to keep up-to-date

The 5.3-exp branch is available at:

http://git.experimentalworks.net/php-exp.git

Latest tarballs are available at:

http://git.experimentalworks.net/php-exp.git

Please notice that experimental patches are untested and therefor can cause
problems. Also notice that I cannot guarantee that the patches run under every
platform supported by PHP. The patchset is tested under a recent Ubuntu Linux
system with latest re2c and librarys from the Ubuntu repositories.

Comments are welcome
