Hi, we have packaged PHP 5.3.0beta1. Source tarballs can be found at http://downloads.php.net/johannes/php-5.3.0beta1.tar.bz2 ac16e56bf6a4b37ff35d9bc061063a9 http://downloads.php.net/johannes/php-5.3.0beta1.tar.gz 71c6c06087cfa9c38567b050d00bcabf Windows binary builds on http://windows.php.net/qa/ Please test it carefully, and report any bugs in the bug system, but only if you have a short reproducable test case. The biggest change is dropping of OO functionality in closures as full OO support for closures is planed for a later release than PHP 5.3.0. See http://wiki.php.net/rfc/closures/removal-of-this This release marks the begin of a feature freeze and bug fix only phase. If in doubt whether your change is a bugfix please run it by Lukas and me. Developers please go through the bug database we have tons of open bugs. Additionally we have quite a bunch tests failing on non-Linux systems. Please check whether that are real bugs or system defendant tests. Users: Now it's certainly the time to check your applications and help us to identify problems before stable release is done! Lukas and Johannes
