The Active Awards are held annually to honor members of the PHP, Python, Perl, Tcl, and XSLT communities, who <em>actively</em> contribute to open languages and display excellence in their programming efforts. Activators' Choice Award winners were chosen by ActiveState's development team. Programmers' Choice Award winners were nominated and chosen by the open source community, the nominees were: Greg Allan; Stig Bakken; Bogomil Shopov; Philippe Thomassigny; and Andrei Zmievski. </p> <p> The Activators' Choice winners are Derick Rethans and Jani Taskinen.

More details are available at <a href="http://www.ActiveState.com/ActiveAwards2002">http://www.ActiveState.com/ActiveAwards2002</a> </p> <hr /> <h1>PHP 4.2.2 released in response to vulnerability</h1> <p> <span class="newsdate">[22-Jul-2002]</span> The PHP Group today announced the details of a serious <a href="release_4_2_2.php">vulnerability</a> in PHP versions 4.2.0 and 4.2.1. A security update, <a href="downloads.php">PHP 4.2.2</a>, fixes the issue. Everyone running affected versions of PHP is encouraged to upgrade immediately. The new 4.2.2 release doesn't include other changes, so upgrading from 4.2.1 is safe and painless. </p> <hr /> <h1>New comp.lang.php newsgroup started</h1> <p> <span class="newsdate">[09-Jul-2002]</span> comp.lang.php was created yesterday, after a two and a half month long process started in April by Ian Fette resulted in a <a href="http://groups.google.com/groups?q=comp.lang.php&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=1025483879.39561&40isc.org&rnum=3">177-11 vote</a> in favor of the group. The new group is already carried on most news servers, and should be carried on almost all news servers in the world within the next few days. </p> <p> The new group is important for a few reasons: Firstly, the old alt.* php groups suffered from poor propagation - i.e. not all servers carried them, and the community was split between multiple groups. This new group offers a chance to unite the PHP-Usenet community. Secondly, most servers have longer post-retention times for comp.* than alt.*. Finally, the creation of comp.lang.php represents PHP's coming to acceptance and maturity. Virtually all languages have a spot under the comp.lang.* hierarchy. Stop on by and become a part of the community - comp.lang.php is a great place to get help and to help others. </p> <hr /> <?php print_image("news/engine.gif", "Zend Engine 2", "right"); ?> <h1>Alpha 2 of PHP w/ the Zend Engine 2 Now Available</h1> <p> <span class="newsdate">[30-Jun-2002]</span> The second alpha release of PHP w/ Zend Engine 2 is <a href="/downloads.php">now available</a>.

The Active Awards are held annually to honor members of the PHP, Python, Perl, Tcl, and XSLT communities, who <em>actively</em> contribute to open languages and display excellence in their programming efforts. Activators' Choice Award winners were chosen by ActiveState's development team. Programmers' Choice Award winners were nominated and chosen by the open source community, the nominees were: Greg Allan; Stig Bakken; Bogomil Shopov; Philippe Thomassigny; and Andrei Zmievski. </p> <p> The Activators' Choice winners are Derick Rethans and Jani Taskinen.

A security update, <a href="downloads.php">PHP 4.2.2</a>, fixes the issue. Everyone running affected versions of PHP is encouraged to upgrade immediately. The new 4.2.2 release doesn't include other changes, so upgrading from 4.2.1 is safe and painless. </p> <hr /> <h1>New comp.lang.php newsgroup started</h1> <p> <span class="newsdate">[09-Jul-2002]</span> comp.lang.php was created yesterday, after a two and a half month long process started in April by Ian Fette resulted in a <a href="http://groups.google.com/groups?q=comp.lang.php&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=1025483879.39561&40isc.org&rnum=3">177-11 vote</a> in favor of the group. The new group is already carried on most news servers, and should be carried on almost all news servers in the world within the next few days. </p> <p> The new group is important for a few reasons: Firstly, the old alt.* php groups suffered from poor propagation - i.e. not all servers carried them, and the community was split between multiple groups. This new group offers a chance to unite the PHP-Usenet community. Secondly, most servers have longer post-retention times for comp.* than alt.*. Finally, the creation of comp.lang.php represents PHP's coming to acceptance and maturity. Virtually all languages have a spot under the comp.lang.* hierarchy. Stop on by and become a part of the community - comp.lang.php is a great place to get help and to help others. </p> <hr /> <?php print_image("news/engine.gif", "Zend Engine 2", "right"); ?> <h1>Alpha 2 of PHP w/ the Zend Engine 2 Now Available</h1> <p> <span class="newsdate">[30-Jun-2002]</span> The second alpha release of PHP w/ Zend Engine 2 is <a href="/downloads.php">now available</a>.
