John Mertic has a quick note on his blog about the latest release candidate for the Windows PHP installer (PHP5.2.0RC3) and some issues they've been having.    Rebuilt the installer for 5.2.0RC3. Edin was having problems building it so I'm going to do it and upload it; hopefully we can resolve the issue.   It's also noted that if you see issues with using the installer, try removing the previous PHP installation before running it again.

Stefan Esser has a post to the PHP Security Blog about his "Month of PHP Bugs" (March 2007) that will be happening and some of the new effects that the recent release of PHP 5.2.1 has had on it.   Today PHP 5.2.1 was released which fixes some (but not all) of the bugs I will cover in the "Month of PHP bugs". Actually the release announcement already gives a list of bugs that were fixed.    He also comments on the reporting of the bugs in the Changelog and updates in the release announcements and how they're handled.

Jared White has released the latest Developer Preview of his application framework for PHP 5 - Willowgarden DP2.   I'm so pleased to announce that Developer Preview 2 is ready. This is where the project is really starting to solidify and settle into a cohesive whole that can be used for hands-on development. I've been working on several Web site and applications using the DP2 codebase, and it has made my life as a PHP developer so much more fun than the bad old days of cobbling together scripts nearly from scratch.   A new wiki for the project has also been launched with content already being added - a User Guide and areas for tutorials and howtos. Jared also puts a call out to PHP 5 developers out there looking for something to get involved with to take a good look at the Willowgarden project and send him an email ("remove everything after jared before the @ sign").

Ilia Alshanetsky has posted about the release of the latest release candidate for the upcoming PHP version, 5.2 - PHP 5.2.0 RC3.   The third and possibly the final release candidate of PHP 5.2.0 is now available for download. The number of changes are fairly small, which is always good when nearing the final release, but there were 2 important fixes that need attention.   He notes that there are only really two major issues that need to be addressed before the final release and are included in this release candidate - a memory corruption issue and a problem in the session shutdown order.   You can download this release now: Bzipped file || Gzipped file.

On Pierre's blog today, there's a release announcement about the "long awaited for" version of his Filter extension - version 0.1.0.0.   This release will be included in the upcoming PHP 5.2.0RC3, which is likely to be the last RC. Please report any trouble you find, and post your feedback (here, on the pecl-dev mailing list or in the issue tracker), it will help provide the best possible extension in the 5.2.0 release. A stable filter release should still hit the road this year.   Feature additons for this release include an input_get_args method, support for PHP's pcre expressions, JIT support, and support for custom decimal spacers. Several behaviors were changed as well, including when a value is FALSE or NULL, updates to the integer/float parser, and the default filter now being set to "raw".   You can get the complete listing of updates on the project from the Changelog and check out the project and all of its documentation on it's PECL homepage.
