Browscap module fix

A small yet important bug has been found in the browscap module of PHP 3.0 and 3.0.1, which effectively, renders this module useless. If you want to use the browscap feature and don't want to wait until PHP 3.0.2, a patch is available. The bug does not affect any other part of PHP.

PHP 3.0.1 has been released

Version 3.0.1 is a service release for version 3.0. It mainly includes fixes to minor problems, and a small amount of new features. You can download the whole package or a patch against version 3.0 from the downloads page, or see what has changed since version 3.0.

PHP 3.0 Final is out!

See the In The News page for the release announcement and the accompanying press release.
