This release wraps up all the outstanding patches for the PHP 4.4 series, and is therefore the last normal PHP 4.4 release. If necessary, releases to address security issues could be made until 2008-08-08." This indicates a potential future release.

The exact text from the announcement was: After 2007-12-31 there will be no more releases of PHP 4.4. We will continue to make critical security fixes available on a case-by-case basis until 2008-08-08. The two statements do contradict each other a little bit, and I am ok with another release, but technically Marcus is correct.how about this. We edit php_config.h to be version 4.4.8pl1. Then provide a patch for download. All reasonable distributions will pick up that patch anyway. But at least we didn't do a release as we promised, we wouldn't.Uh, no. We didn't promise we wouldn't make releases. It clearly says that if there are security issues we look at them case-by-case to see if we should make a release. There are security issues, we make a release. There is nothing more to discuss about this.
