PHP 5.2.3 Released!

A little less then a month had passed and we have a new PHP 5 release, 5.2.3 that can downloaded here. As with the prior patch level releases in 5.2.branch, the work continued on improving stability (over 40 bug fixes) and security with a 6 additional security fixes and improvements added. Also, this version contains a few optimizations that hopefully will make this the fastest 5.2 release yet, with improvements in string processing, md5()/sha1() generation and few less syscalls per request.

The official release announcement can be found here and the nitty gritty details can be seen in the ChangeLog.

I am also happy to say that two regressions introduced by prior releases were addressed, relating to timeouts on non-blocking SSL connection as well as lack of HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA under certain conditions.

Anonymous on :

The effort y'all are putting into getting 5.2.x releases out the door is very much appreciated.

Also appreciated is the willingness to add stuff to the branch rather than completely holding off until PHP 6.

Re: the max_input_nesting_level. It isn't in the manual yet. I assume it's PHP_INI_PERDIR?

Ilia Alshanetsky on :

That's correct the max_input_nesting_level is a per-directory setting.

David Goodwin on :

Were there no -RC releases?

I seem to remember you posting about 5.2.2-rc which I duly tested (and was pleased that it fixed some pcre problems I had)...

Perhaps I need to sign up to yet more mailing lists.

Rene L. on :

Dear Ilia,

good to see such good progress with PHP 5.2.4.

I just wanted to inform you of new releases (for the windows binaries):
SQLite 3.4.0
IMAP 2006i
libxslt 1.1.21
libxml2 2.6.29


Keep up the good work
René
