Could you explain me how it works (or give me a link > to site explaining it)? The PHP versioning system is different from Linux's. All releases that have not been labeled as "alpha" or "beta" are to be considered stable. The rest of the version number is structured like this: [major].[minor].[patch] When only the "patch" part changes, the changes are very minor. When "minor" changes there _may_ be compatibility problems, and when "major" changes there _will_ be compatibility issues. - Stig
