Slashdot is carrying a 4.0.0 announcement that does gross
injustice to the changes made from 3.x/4.0RCx. It lists today's ChangeLog
as the set of changes since the last release!! The text of the
announcement follows this message.
Does someone from the PHP Group have a real announcement text for
Slashdot to put up? Or a concise list of new features?
Let's get this ridiculous announcement cleaned up before too many
people see it.
Thanks,
James
