[SM-DEVEL] A status question, and php-5.4 updates

[Adam W. <ad...@ad...>]

( This is a resend; I initially send this to squirrelmail-users, but
Paul was kind enough to point me to the right place. )

Hello, squirrelmail! I am a longtime SM user, starting from back
when----well, when the javascript address book was too advanced for some
of the browsers at work :-) I am also a FreeBSD committer, and the
maintainer of the FreeBSD squirrelmail port.

I know that this is a question that OSS development teams hate getting
pestered with, but I was wondering if you could give me an idea of when
1.4.23 may see the light of day? If momentum has stalled and there is no
projected plans for a release coming, that's totally okay and I'll work
on collecting patches to update our port.

The main thing that I'd like to backport if 1.4.23 is on an indefinite
delay would be fixes for php-5.4 compatibility. Due to the mechanics of
our ports system (which encourages building from source), I get a lot
of confused emails due to us erroring out at php > 5.3.

I've identified and backported r14343 (plugins/message_details
session_unregister->sqsession_unregister), and r14276
(plugins/mail_fetch hex2bin clobbering). Are there other patches
that I should be including as php-5.4 fixes? What is your level of
confidence regarding 5.4 compatibility in 1.4.23-devel?

I really appreciate you taking the time to help me clear up the status
and the 5.4 fixes. Thanks, and have a great weekend!

# Adam
