Author Why no manual?

Why in the name of all names did you have to release version 5 final
without compleating the manual pages? What is a programmer suposed to do
with it as long as on php.net website there are empty pages regarding the
new classes in php 5?

I mean, what's the hurry? Right now the new version is useless, the manual
is useless... err... you have no manual.
So now, if I'm gonna ask you a simple question about something new in php,
you could never tell me to go and RTFM since you have no up-to-date manual,
could you? Hehe...

There are plenty of resources on this and the release text even
links to the following:

http://www.zend.com/php5/zend-engine2.php

The manual won't contain much more than that text has so I
don't see why this is a major problem for you. All the above
information is in the manual's CVS right now and will show up
during the next manual build, this should be done soon.

This post is useless, unproductive, and hindsight is 20/20.
