Hello! Johannes has packaged PHP 5.3.0RC1, which you can find here: http://downloads.php.net/johannes/ Windows binaries are available here: http://windows.php.net/qa/ This release candidate makes us feature complete and we hope to only require minimal changes ahead of the next release. Many, but not all, of the new features are already integrated in the official documentation on php.net. Please not that we are aware of minor issues with integer handling that we still want to fix (though most of them have also affected PHP 5.2) and a crash bug in NSAPI. Expect an RC2 in 2-3 weeks time, though for most users there will not be a noticeable change meaning that now is the time to start doing the final testing of PHP 5.3.0 before it gets released with any unnecessary incompatibilities with your project. Some additional links to get started: http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/php-src/NEWS?view=markup&pathrev=PHP_5_3 http://wiki.php.net/doc/scratchpad/upgrade/53 Best Regards, Johannes and Lukas PHP 5.3 Release Managers
