Just a quick note from Wez Furlong today concerning testers for the latest PDO software committed.

I posted this message to the PHP internals and PECL development lists just now. I'm soliciting beta testers for PDO. If you want to help QA PDO ready for its PHP 5.1 debut, please read on.

You may have noticed my "drive-by release" of various different PDO packages tonight/this morning. This is stage one of the "PDO push".

I'd like to encourage you all to try it out; as you should know, we're going to be releasing PDO as part of PHP 5.1, so we need as many people as possible to play around with it to discover any remaining issues.

To help out with the cause, go over to the PDO page in the PECL website and grab the latest updates. Wez says that he will try to make updates daily with the patched versions of the latest bugs found.

Now is the time to test and evaluate PDO; if we don't get enough feedback over the next couple of weeks, it won't make it into PHP 5.1 and you'll have to wait until the next major PHP release.
