Apparently PHP5 RC3 is going to be the last release candidate. This is supposed to be coming out at the end of this week, so PHP5 will probably be released next month.  It's a bit like looking through a window into a candy store. The sweetener I most look forward to is the improved object assignment semantics.

Greg Beaver points out the numerous releases that were made in the PEAR community today - including an update to the PEAR website itself.   OK, today's release party wins.  I've just uploaded the 8th package for release, and it's a very significant day of releases.   The three updates made today are:  An update to the PEAR website that allows for patch tracking in the bug tracker The latest version of PHP_ParserGenerator - version 0.1.5 and the release of the first, full-featured parser for PHP - PHP_Parser along with a "companion", PHP_Parser_DocblockParser

According to this new post on the PHPClasses.org blog today, they're launching some premium services for the users of the site:   It is with great pleasure that I announce that the PHP Classes site finally launched the premium services for PHP developers that use the site. [...] The premium subscriptions are the alternative that I found to make this site provide a pleasant user experience and hopefully provide useful features that can help making the life of PHP developers better.   He goes into detail on what all is involved in the premium subscriptions including:   No advertising Own site search Recorded searches Notable packages PHP Specialist forums   There's also several other services that are listed as "coming soon" to further enhance the site - customizable site design templates, new class wish lists, personalized bookmarks, etc. The cost for all of the premium services comes to $5 USD/month (with $15 USD due at a time because of restrictions on the payment gateway).   Another pair of interesting notes about the future of the site are mentions of revenue sharing for best contributors and the opportunity for free subscriptions.   You can get complete information about these premium services from its page on the PHPClasses.org website.

P&aacute;draic Brady, looking ahead to the work he will be doing over the next few months, is proposing on his blog about a new Zend Framework component - Zend_Service_Currency.    I did a quick check on what PHP classes are available for the purpose. There's really not a whole lot out there. There's a PEAR class along the lines I need, but it's released under the PHP License and, not to be too argumentative, I prefer non-PEAR solutions where the end-user may have no access to update PEAR.   So since the project is planned to use the Zend Framework, I shot off a mail to the Framework's fw-general mailing list to see if it would be a worthwhile contribution.    He sees that someone else had already opened a proposal for the same idea and decided to join with that group to work up the module. He also links to his original proposal and gives a brief overview of the goals of the package.
