Het ontwikkelteam van PHP heeft van deze populaire scripting taal de eerste release candidate voor versie 4.4.0 uitgebracht. Men heeft een aantal problemen opgelost en hierdoor is de interne API aangepast. De volledige aankondiging ziet er als volgt uit:
We just released the first release candidate for PHP 4.4.0. This is a bug-fix only release, the increased middle digit is needed because this release changes PHP's Internal API that causes existing third-party binary extensions to be incompatible with the new version.
This release address a major problem within PHP concerning references. If references where used in a wrong way, PHP would often create memory corruptions which would not always surface and be visible. In other cases it can cause variables and objects to change type or class. If you encountered strange behavior like this, this release might fix it.
Besides addressing this reference related bug, 46 other bugs are fixed. Please test this release and report any bugs or problems in our bugsystem (after searching first).
