Once more unto the breach. One of the issues that was open until now was a regression in the behavior of Apache 2 sapi on non-linux systems. The problem was finally discovered and resolved, so if you've experienced crashes or "weird" behavior with Apache 2 and PHP 5.1/4.4.1, please give this RC a shot.
The second reason for the RC is the update of the new parameter parsing API used by large number of PHP functions, such as date(). Until this RC, handling of integer values was very strict, rejecting all non-well formed numeric values when a function expected a number. As of now the checks have been relaxed (as was the case in old API) and non-well formed ints like " 123" and "123 " are once again supported. However, to promote code safety and input validation the function will emit E_NOTICE when they are encountered. http://downloads.php.net/ilia/php-5.1.0RC6.tar.bz2 fba81c7832fc254722b012adb10f5914 http://downloads.php.net/ilia/php-5.1.0RC6.tar.gz ae7a81d10bc93bc1426d489ee8fc1196 The Windows binaries will be available shortly from http://downloads.php.net/ilia/ as well. Once again, I encourage everyone to take the time to try out this RC and test it against your code or simply run "make test".
