I’m running ExpressionEngine 1.6.8 on a Mac OSX server with PHP 5.3.0. Only an occasional syntax error, but I’m testing some “bleeding edge” projects anyway and want the new PHP.

I was tempted to try the EE2 public beta until I noticed the Zend Optimizer problem. There is no way I’m going to downgrade my PHP version or run Apache in 32-bit mode or whatever just to make the Zendies happy.

So, like many other EE users, I’m hopeful that the beta turns gold soon, so that I can upgrade. Maybe when y’all come back from San Francisco? :coolsmile:

Also, what I’ve read so far in here is that the “full” (not beta) EE doesn’t even use Zend.

Just to clear up a potential misunderstanding here, Zend Optimizer is only required for the encrypted 30-day trial. The regular, paid-for Beta version is plain, clean PHP, just like 1.6.9.

Not even the “real” Beta, is what I’m saying. That said, sorry, no ETA for version 2.1.
