Hi,

In r5764 changes required in the plugins for the new Roundcube Framework were put into the trunk version of the plugins. Please consider using a separate branch for the plugin work, just like for the changes in the core so that the plugins will continue to work with the current Roundcube trunk in the meantime.

Thanks,

Phil

Ok,

I guess those are all valid points. I think as long as we keep the versioning sane and don't race to a 1.0 too quickly we can always change the requirement when more people came around to 5.3. I am hoping this is more sooner than later. With PHP 5.4 around the corner, there are a lot of benefits to upgrading.

I'm not aware of the Zend Encoder/Zend Guard specifics. I'll see if I can dig up something from Zend to learn more about it.

Thanks Raoul, you're taking the words out of my mouth :D
Being a hoster I see the same problematics with the migration 5.2->5.3.
Big problem as example: Zend Optimizer to Zend Guard Loader. Completely different and encoded apps won't be working anymore. That's some huge bugger for a hoster.
So +1 from me as well to stay 5.2 compliant.

as both a hoster and programmer myself, i completely agree with
you.

on the hosting side, it will still take some time for a php 5.2 to
php 5.3 transition because

(a) there are still supported distros with php 5.2 (think: never touch
a running system) and

(b) there are plenty of customers, ignorant to software updates, who
are still running non php 5.3 compatible appplications (e.g. joomla 1.5)
or custom code which makes a (forced) transition even harder ...

(of course, you can run php 5.2 and php 5.3 side by side but that
increases maintenance efforts)

so +1 for keeping 5.2 compatibility a little longer.

cheers,
raoul
