The 3rd release candidate for PHP 5.2.1 is now available for download. The tarballs can be found here:

http://downloads.php.net/ilia/php-5.2.1RC3.tar.bz2 (d3889eda8c3471ce7cf2adb35a4de736)
http://downloads.php.net/ilia/php-5.2.1RC3.tar.gz (c5b3e5540d1951d4c4b976b8a39c09ab)

and the Win32 binaries will be available in short order.

Since the last release, there are over 20 different bug fixes resolving some annoying engine issues such as the tempval leak inside foreach(). We do not anticipate any regressions to be introduced by this RC, but I would still like to ask everyone to take a few minutes and test it against their code base. If you come across any issues please report them at http://bugs.php.net/.

Depending on the stability of this release it may either be followed by a final release or another RC, therefor your feedback is critical to determining whether or not the code is stable enough to warrant the 5.2.1 final.
