Verwijderd meldt de derde release kandidaat van PHP 4.2.0 aan in de meuktracker. Echter, ten tijde van plaatsing was de vierde alweer verschenen. Hij is beschikbaar in 2 smaken, eentje in ZIP formaat en eentje in het voor linux gebruikers gebruikelijke tar.gz formaat.
A fourth release candidate for PHP 4.2.0 has just been released, with experimental support for the recent Apache 2.0.35 release as well as numerous collected bug fixes. This build is used for testing the readiness of the release branch. By providing feedback about this build, you can help make sure that the actual release (planned for April 22) has as few bugs as possible. This release candidate is NOT meant for production servers, only for helping out the PHP-QA Team finding weak spots. For more information, see the PHP QA website.
