Hello!

You are receiving this email because your project has been selected or
subscribed yourself to take part in a new effort by the PHP QA Team to
make sure that your project still works with PHP versions to-be-
released. With this we hope to make sure that you are either aware of
things that might break, or to make sure we don't introduce any
strange regressions. With this effort we hope to build a better
relationship between the PHP Team and the major projects.

The third release candidate of PHP 5.3.0 was just released and can be
downloaded from:
http://downloads.php.net/johannes (*nix sources)
http://windows.php.net/qa (windows binaries)


This this release candidate focused on bug fixes and stability
improvements and we hope to only require minimal changes ahead
of the next release. Many, but not all,  of the new features are
already integrated in the official documentation on php.net.

Please not that we are aware of a few minor issues including that we
still want to fix for the final release. We are aiming for an RC4 next
week followed by the final release in the week after. For most users
there will not be a noticeable change meaning that now is the time
to really do the final testing of PHP 5.3.0 before it gets released
with any unnecessary incompatibilities with your project.
