Weinig spannende verbeteringen, alle interressante development vindt in 5.0b plaats.
Ter volledigheid nog even de rest van het changelog:

Version 4.3.3RC2
- Improved the NSAPI SAPI module (Uwe Schindler)
. Added possibility to use PHP to generate HTTP error pages (404 Not Found..)
. Added possibility to use PHP to generate directory listings for directories without index.html
- Upgraded the bundled Expat library to version 1.95.6. (Jani)
- Upgraded the bundled PCRE library to version 4.3. (Andrei) Vooral verbeteringen voor Utf8
- Added a new parameter to preg_match*() that can be used to specify the starting offset in the subject string to match from. (Andrei) Dat kan erg handig zijn - zeker voor regexp-based parsers
Plus nog een hoop fixes

Version 4.3.3RC1
- Synchronized bundled GD library with GD 2.0.15. (Ilia)
gd 2.0.15 fixes problems including inadequate bounds checking in antialiased line drawing, poor freetype font hinting, problems with multiline text in freetype output, and minor compilation issues. For more information about this and previous updates, see the "What's New" section of the 2.0.15 manual.
Die 'poor freetype font hinting' had ik zelf erg last van...
