Pierre-Alain Joye's Blog: Zip 1.8.5, small bug fixes release
691492
Pierre-Alain Joye has posted about the latest update to his Zip PECL package today:   This release fixes two small issues, a leak happening on error and a bug in extractTo. Empty directories were not created recursively, for example an entry like "test/emptydir", only the "test" directory was created.   This latest download is here and the homepage for the project is over on this PECL page (as well as details on what the package can do and documentation of all of its features).

Mike Wallner has thrown together some stats for the latest edition of the pecl/http package to test its response performance.   The results surprised me, because it clearly shows that the performance drop for starting the PHP engine and doing the neccessary negotiation to provide caching is not that bad.   There's a chart of the results as well as a full PDF with all of the stats the graph maps out. He includes the legend to make the graph easier to understand.

Ilia Alshanetsky has noted that the latest release canidate for the PHP 5.2.x series, PHP 5.2.5RC1, is now available for download.   This RC includes a fair number of fixes since our last release and predominantly works on improving the stability of the 5.2 tree as well as including a small number of minor security fixes. I'd like to ask everyone to test this release against your code and setups, we are aiming for a quick release cycle and user feedback is critical for a successful release.   You can download this new edition directly from here (no Windows builds yet).

I was reading LWN where there were reports of security holes in a dozen different packages based off Mozilla's Gecko. Someone complained about the lack of a universal library that they should all use so that users would only need to update the library and not each program separately. Apparently such a library exists as libxul, but its use is uncommon enough that the bugs were reported as being for the several separate programs and not for "libxul".
