The PHP development team is proud to announce the 4th
<a href="http://qa.php.net">release candidate</a> of PHP 5.4.

</p>
<p>
<strong>THIS IS A RELEASE CANDIDATE - DO NOT USE IT IN PRODUCTION!</strong>.

<p>
The new release candidate fixed several bugs, including:
</p>
<ul>

<li>Fixed a segfault in the traits code</li>
</ul>

<p>Windows users: please mind that we do no longer provide builds created
with Visual Studio C++ 6. It is impossible to maintain a high quality
and safe build of PHP for Windows using this unmaintained compiler.</p>
<p>For Apache SAPIs (php5_apache2_2.dll), be sure that you use a Visual
Studio C++ 9 version of Apache. We recommend the Apache builds as provided
by <a href="http://www.apachelounge.com/">ApacheLounge</a>. For any other
SAPI (CLI, FastCGI via mod_fcgi, FastCGI with IIS or other FastCGI capable
server), everything works as before. Third party extension providers
must rebuild their extensions to make them compatible and loadable with
the Visual Studio C++9 builds that we now provide.</p>
<p>All PHP users should note that the PHP 5.2 series is NOT supported
anymore. All users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to PHP 5.3.7.</p>

PHP has several new documentation features that the community should be aware of:
</p>
<ul>
<li>pman - PHP man pages
<ul>
<li>$ pear install doc.php.net/pman</li>
<li>$ pman strlen (this example displays a local textual version of the strlen docs)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Enhanced CHM - contains user notes (over 25,000)
<ul>
<li>This additional CHM file is <a href="/download-docs.php">downloadable</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Online Documentation Editor - allows everyone to edit the PHP manual
<ul>
<li>URL: <a href="https://edit.php.net/">https://edit.php.net/</a></li>
<li>Every manual page will link to it in the future</li>
<li>Includes an IRC window to the #php.doc channel, so let's talk</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
We hope you find the above features useful, and please write <a href="mailto:phpdoc@lists.php.net">phpdoc@lists.php.net</a> with feedback.
Additional features are being refined, which includes a JSON version of the manual.

<p>The wiki.php.net box was compromised and the attackers were able to
collect wiki account credentials. No other machines in the php.net
infrastructure appear to have been affected. Our biggest concern is,
of course, the integrity of our source code. We did an extensive code
audit and looked at every commit since 5.3.5 to make sure that no stolen
accounts were used to inject anything malicious. Nothing was found.
The compromised machine has been wiped and we are forcing a password
change for all svn accounts.</p>
<p>We are still investigating the details of the attack which combined a
vulnerability in the Wiki software with a Linux root exploit.</p>

<p>The PHP development team would like to announce the immediate
availability of PHP 5.3.6. This release focuses on improving the
stability of the PHP 5.3.x branch with over 60 bug fixes, some of which
are security related.</p>

<ul>

<li>Fixed bug #54055 (buffer overrun with high values for precision ini setting).</li>
<li>Fixed bug #54002 (crash on crafted tag in exif). (CVE-2011-0708)</li>

<p>Windows users: please mind that we do no longer provide builds created
with Visual Studio C++ 6. It is impossible to maintain a high quality
and safe build of PHP for Windows using this unmaintained compiler.
</p>
<p>For Apache SAPIs (php5_apache2_2.dll), be sure that you use a Visual
Studio C++ 9 version of Apache. We recommend the Apache builds as provided
by <a href="http://www.apachelounge.com/">ApacheLounge</a>. For any other SAPI (CLI,
FastCGI via mod_fcgi, FastCGI with IIS or other FastCGI capable
server), everything works as before. Third party extension providers
must rebuild their extensions to make them compatible and loadable with
the Visual Studio C++ 9 builds that we now provide.
</p>
<p>All PHP users should note that the PHP 5.2 series is NOT supported anymore. All users
are strongly encouraged to upgrade to PHP 5.3.6.</p>
<p>For a full list of changes in PHP 5.3.6, see the
<a href="/ChangeLog-5.php#5.3.6">ChangeLog</a>. For source downloads
please visit our <a href="/downloads.php">downloads page</a>, Windows
binaries can be found on <a href="http://windows.php.net/download/">windows.php.net/download/</a>.</p>

The <a href="http://phpcon.org/">PHP Community Conference</a> is
a conference by and for the PHP community. It's for people who care

Inspired by conferences like <a href="http://www.webstock.org.nz/">Webstock</a>
and <a href="http://brooklynbeta.org/">Brooklyn Beta</a>, we want
to make a friendly conference for us. Together with our friends and
peers, we (<a href="http://twitter.com/ramsey">Ben</a>,
<a href="http://twitter.com/lisamusing">Lisa</a>, and
<a href="http://twitter.com/NickASloan">Nick</a>) aim to inspire you
to make great things with PHP.

The PHP Community Conference is a two-day event, taking place April
21st and 22nd, 2011 in Nashville, TN. We have an
<a href="http://phpcon.org/speakers">awesome line-up of speakers</a>,
including a keynote address by <strong>Rasmus Lerdorf</strong>.
</p>
<p>
We'll kick things off with a tutorial day that will introduce you
to tools and ideas that you can use in your code right away. The
second day will consist of presentations that will inspire you to
create something new with PHP. With the help of our sponsors, we
are able to offer admission to the entire event for $350 USD. We'll
provide lunch and snacks on both days. On Friday night, we'll
finish off the conference with a party featuring
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pecha_Kucha">pecha kucha</a>
