Does anyone know if ez publish is stable with this version?

Btw. "Tags you can use in forum messages" have to be corrected.
Now:

<i>Italic text</b>

Correct is:

<i>Italic text</i>

My link is also not clickable as described in "Tags you can use in forum messages".
It is also not possible to get both bold and italic at the same time on text.

Hi,

I've upgraded from php 4.3.4 to 4.3.5

and ez seems to be stable. But I think it's to early to say something about that. So my suggestions: Just wait :-)

(And don't forget: Never change a running (php) system ;-)

Kind regards,
Emil.

Best wishes,
Georg.

Its worth leaving it a couple of weeks after a new php release, that way you can test in your dev and mirror environments before placing it in the live environment.

We are currently testing 4.3.5 and apart from a single "make test" fail. It seems to be ok. Time will tell :)

Seems to be working for me. 4.3.5 is a bugfix release so it probably more likely that eZ publish becomes more stable from using it. But, as Tony suggests, test it before deploying.

Hi,

It looks like 4.3.5 has some issues. If these affect you I would hold off till 4.3.6

In the spirit of release early, release often here is the first and hopefully the final release candidate of PHP 4.3.6. This release addresses 2 major bugs introduced in the 4.3.5 release. One of these bugs caused problems when loading dynamic extensions on Windows and thread-safe (ZTS) builds and the other involves incorrect handling of daylight savings time. A few other minor bugs were fixed as well.
