intl merged into core

[Stanislav Malyshev]

Hi!

Following more than a year of planning and development, and the release
of version 1.0.0 on PECL, I have merged today the intl extension into
PHP core. The list of its current capabilities is here:
http://php.net/intl - please try it out and enjoy. Version compatible
with 5.2.x starting 5.2.4 is available from PECL, and for 5.3 is in the
CVS tree.

I would like to say big thanks to everybody who contributed to this
project, by helping to design it, write the code, test it or provided
feedback and bug reports. Thanks a lot!

With this, it is not by any means the end of the road for this project.
There's still much to be done. We need to integrate it much better with
PHP 6, improve support for other modules like DateTime, and support more
capabilities of ICU, like resources, calendars, IDN - and you probably
could think of more. And, of course, bugfixes :)

If you have any comments, wishes, feedback etc. please tell. And if you
encounter a bug or have specific feature request please go to
http://pecl.php.net/package/intl and go to "Package Bugs"->"Report new
bug".

I think

http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=14263 should be fixed asap, as  
well as http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=14265.
http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=14266 might also be worthwile to  
simply change before it gets widespread public attention :)

And... what about the class name prefix now? :S

Hi Stas and company,

Congratulations on reaching this milestone! I know it's been a long  
process and a lot of work to get here, and having this extension will  
make the development of internationalized applications in PHP much,  
much easier. Yes, there's always more, but this is a huge step forward.

Thank you very much to all who contributed!
Norbert

Cool!

Well I was wondering if it wouldn't be wise to remove the current  
options altogether and replace them with the array variants... hence  
the comment "widespread public attention", as doing it now would only  
break four or five people's code ;)
