50% There

Unicode upgrade stats

Well, PHP boys and girls, this feels like quite a milestone: 50% of the 3084 functions that are bundled with PHP 6 have been upgraded to support and work safely with Unicode. I think it was hovering at around 10% only a few short months ago, so the development has definitely accelerated and, hopefully, the avalanche effect will continue. Preview release, here we come.

    PHP *6*? Cripes, I still haven't upgraded to PHP 5 (as it hoses some of my client's programs).
