PHP 4.3.0 släppt

http://www.php.net/release_4_3_0.php

Tanka och njut

Det innebär bl.a. följande nyheter:

• GD library is now bundled with the distribution and it is recommended to always use the bundled version

• vpopmail and cybermut extensions are moved to PECL

• several deprecated extensions (aspell, ccvs, cybercash, icap) and SAPIs (fastcgi, fhttpd) are removed

• speed improvements in a variety of string functions

• Apache2 filter is improved, but is still considered experimental (use with PHP in prefork and not worker (thread) model since many extensions based on external libraries are not thread safe)

• various security fixes (imap, mysql, mcrypt, file upload, gd, etc)

• new SAPI for embedding PHP in other applications (experimental)

• much better test suite

• significant improvements in dba, gd, pcntl, sybase, and xslt extensions

• debug_backtrace() should help with debugging

• error messages now contain URLs linking to pages describing the error or function in question

• Zend Engine has some fixes and minor performance enhancements
  and TONS of other fixes, updates, new functions, etc

Eller om man vill ha det i klartext: Nyare, snabbare, snyggare, coolare, ballare, fräckare....

Det funkar faktiskt ganska bra. Räkna inte det som stable bara. Iofs så funkar inte PHP Accelerator med Apache2 än heller, så det spelar inte så stor roll
