	+	==== TODO for every minor (x.Y.0) release ====
	+
	+	== Migration guides ==
	+	Since PHP 5.1.0, every such release has included a migration appendix / upgrade guide. This involves the following:
	+
	+	* php-src/README.UPDATE_X_Y (Examples: [[http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/phpweb/README_UPGRADE_51.php?hideattic=0\|5.1]], [[http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/php-src/README.UPDATE_5_2?&pathrev=PHP_5_2\|5.2]])
	+	* phpdoc/appendix/migrationXY.xml (Examples: [[http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/phpdoc/en/appendices/migration51.xml?view=log\|5.2]], [[http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/phpdoc/en/appendices/migration52.xml?view=log\|5.2]])
	+
	+	Currently the internals team has created the README files, but this may change.
	+
	+	== Extension categories ==
	+	Some extensions may have been moved to PECL, became bundled, were re-categorized, etc. This information should be updated at this time, or at any time before:
	+	* The XML: [[http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/phpdoc/en/appendices/extensions.xml?view=log\|phpdoc/en/appendices/extensions.xml]]
	+	* The script that updates it: [[http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/phpdoc/scripts/extensions.xml.php?view=log\|phpdoc/scripts.extensions.xml.php]]
	+	NOTE: This information comes from the comments found within (on top of) every book.xml. Status, and Membership. The Purpose dictates how the extensions are categorized in the index/table of contents.

	+	=== Installation section rewrite ===
	+	This task involves rewriting and restructuring the installation section of the PHP Manual. This is a large task so may be broken up into smaller parts.

	+	The section in question:
	+	* URL: http://php.net/install
	+	* Source: http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/phpdoc/en/install/
	+
	+	=== Problems ===
	+	This section has become outdated. For example, we highlight Apache 2.0.x and only include a few notes about Apache 2.2.x. There are a ton of user notes from confused users that should be addressed. The IIS/PWS section is outdated. The Mac section is outdated. Other parts, outdated.
	+
	+	=== TODO ===
	+	Start work on this one section at a time.

	+	==== TODO for every major (X.0.0) PHP Release ====
	+
	+	== Check version information ==
	+	Since each major PHP version is stored in the version files, this is taken into account at this time.
	+
	+	== Consider removing old information ==
	+	For example, is PHP 3 still relevant? How about PHP 4? If using version specific tagging, does the build system need adjusting?
	+
	+	== Update PHP version specific info ==
	+	The following manual pages contain version specific information that needs updating:
	+	* [[http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/phpdoc/en/appendices/about.xml?view=log\|appendices/about.xml]]
