     <p>Not just another conference - this year has seen some high-valued
     conferences (like our IPC Spring Edition in Berlin) and we are already
     preparing the next big PHP conference. But this year makes a difference.
     It's the 10th. anniversary of the International PHP Conference. Being in
     business for ten years, we met some great people, made true fans and
     encouraged PHP developers all over the world to commit their passion for
     web-development to a growing community, that is behind some of the most
     well-known websites today.</p>

     <p>Of course, a great event is nothing without great developers and we are very
     happy to welcome the PHP community to our next International PHP Conference
     2010! Again, this conference is packed with workshops, sessions and keynotes
     on some of the most trending topics in PHP and web development today. Wether
     you are the developer dealing with core PHP features, the project lead that
     is in continuous integration or the CTO looking for professional solutions,
     this conference is the place to be. Not because of our 10 years of
     experience in bringing together some of the most experienced heads in PHP
     development - but because of this conference being one of Europe's leading
     technology events that have been made possible by a really passionate
     community. And that is ... by you.</p>

    PHP North West is a PHP conference with a regional focus, bringing the best
    of PHP speakers to the north-west of England on Saturday 9th October. A
    full day of conference speakers over at least two tracks this should again
    prove to be one of the best events for PHP user-led conferences in Europe.
    We're also, as last year, having an informal half day of speakers on Sunday
    10th October, at the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) nearby. With a
    weekend packed with all things PHP and a ticket price to suit business and

     The PHP development team would like to announce the immediate
     availability of PHP 5.3.3. This release focuses on improving the
     stability and security of the PHP 5.3.x branch with over 100 bug
     fixes, some of which are security related. All users are encouraged
     to upgrade to this release.
     </p>

     <p>
     <b>Backwards incompatible change:</b>
     </p>
     <ul>
             <li>Methods with the same name as the last element of a namespaced class name
             will no longer be treated as constructor. This change doesn't affect
             non-namespaced classes.

             <p><code>&lt;?php<br>
namespace Foo;<br>
class Bar {<br>
    public function Bar() {<br>
        // treated as constructor in PHP 5.3.0-5.3.2<br>
        // treated as regular method in PHP 5.3.3<br>
    }<br>
}<br>
?&gt;</code></p>
             <p>There is no impact on migration from 5.2.x because namespaces were only introduced in PHP 5.3.</p></li>

             <li>Fixed a possible information leak because of interruption of XOR operator.</li>
             <li>Fixed a possible memory corruption because of unexpected call-time pass by refernce and following memory clobbering through callbacks.</li>

        PHP is proud to announce TestFest 2010. TestFest is PHP's annual campaign
        to increase the overall code coverage of PHP through PHPT tests. During
        TestFest, PHP User Groups and individuals around the world organize local
        events where new tests are written and new contributors are introduced to
        PHP's testing suite.
      </p>
      <p>
        Last year was very successful with 887 tests submitted and a code coverage
        increase of 2.5%. This year we hope to do better.
      </p>
      <p>
        TestFest's own SVN repository and reporting tools are back online for this
        year's event. New to TestFest this year are automated test environment build
        tools as well as screencasts showing those build tools in action.
      </p>
      <p>
        Please visit the <a href="http://wiki.php.net/qa/testfest-2010">TestFest
        2010</a> wiki page for all the details on events being organized in your area,
