PHP 5.2.15RC1 & 5.3.4RC1 Released for Testing

Hello! You are receiving this email because your project has been selected to take part in a new effort by the PHP QA Team to make sure that your project still works with PHP versions to-be-released. With this we hope to make sure that you are either aware of things that might break, or to make sure we don't introduce any strange regressions. With this effort we hope to build a better relationship between the PHP Team and the major projects. If you do not want to receive these heads-up emails, please reply to me and Ilia personally and we will remove you from the list; but, we hope that you want to actively help us making PHP a better and more stable tool. The first release candidates for PHP 5.2.15 and 5.3.4 were just released and can be downloaded from these locations: http://downloads.php.net/ilia/php-5.2.15RC1.tar.bz2 (md5sum: 9b2c632427a533fdb3946081c7c382c2) http://downloads.php.net/johannes/php-5.3.4RC1.tar.bz2 (md5sum: 2edb695f94ef41cc9cfa35777b2656ec) The Windows binaries are available at: http://windows.php.net/qa/ Please try these release candidates against your code and let us know if any regressions should you find any. Proper testing would be extremely helpful. This is the first step in the release process of both versions and goal is, depending on feedback, having a 2nd RC two weeks from now and a final release mid December. Please make us aware of critical issues. Please also note that 5.2.15 is supposed to be the final release from that series. In case you think that other projects should also receive this kinds of emails, please let me know privately, and I will add them to the list of projects to contact.
