OK, but is this a use case that is standard for most users, or your own problem ? Remember that we have to take into account all users of the package, and some strong annoyances for some are not always applying to most. That said... it may be possible to execute your job with less talkative PHP options, i.e. something like error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED for the particular jobs that annoys you. Again, it's a warning, and I'm not sure it's safe to keep deprecation warnings activated by default in stable releases anyway, so your warning may as well go away. > > Another example of bad issue with a warning would be a program that > would generate a document like an XML.

But I'm afraid it's just a bit too much late for that one, given the rules of the freeze now :-( too bad it wasn't spotted weeks earlier. > Please have a look at the extremely easy fix that we > are talking about, and that I've attached to this email: we are talking > about remove exactly *one character* in the source code... :) > Thanks for having investigated this anyway. Now, I think we should focus on testing 0.9.5 instead (which doesn't have this issue, btw).
