[Geomoose-users] getting started, running the demos question

Mon Jan 4 11:05:28 EST 2010

We will probably not delay 2.2 in order to be PHP 5.3 ready.  I would expect that if we're going to focus on PHP 5.3/MS4W 3.0 then we're going to need to rollout a 2.2.(1/2/5) that subsumes it as a "bug fix."

Moving past developer excuses,  I'm running OS/X 10.5.something and a few variants of debian and I believe they all have PHP 5.2, which is why there is probably some quirks when moving t o PHP 5.3.
