Hi!

May I ask you a question? Why there are no patches to newest PHP version in downloads section? It would be much easier and nicer for users if they could download a patch instead of whole big archive. There's php 4.3.1.tgz on my drive, and I don't want to waste bandwith to download the entire new archive - but unfortunetely I can't find appropiate patch to 4.3.2 version. The last patch which is available is only for 4.3.1. Anyway, I don't want to argue with you ;-) But it would be nice if you would offer patches also.
That is the intention. For some reason, no patch was created for php 4.3.2. I'll ask for one from the dev guys.

Dev guys say that the patch would be similar to size to the new release download, so this is why they thought it would be useless to provide a patch. Goba
