<h1>New keyboard shortcuts</h1>
<p>
<font class="newsdate">[17-Oct-2002]</font>
We introduced new keyboard shortcuts on the site today to make our pages
even more comfortable to use. You can hit Alt+S on Microsoft Windows
or Ctrl+S on Macintosh now to go right to the search box and type your
search keyword. A similar shortcut with the letter "L" is also introduced
on the manual pages to access the lookup input field. Thanks to Tommy Ipsen
for the suggestion. You can read more about keyboard shortcuts on web pages

<h1>PHP 4.2.2 released in response to vulnerability</h1>
<p>
<font class="newsdate">[22-Jul-2002]</font> The PHP Group today announced
the details of a serious <a href="release_4_2_2.php">vulnerability</a> in PHP versions 4.2.0 and 4.2.1.
A security update, <a href="downloads.php">PHP 4.2.2</a>, fixes the issue. Everyone running
affected versions of PHP is encouraged to upgrade immediately. The new 4.2.2
release doesn't include other changes, so upgrading from 4.2.1 is safe and painless.

<h1>New comp.lang.php newsgroup started</h1>
<p>
<font class="newsdate">[09-Jul-2002]</font> comp.lang.php was created yesterday,
after a two and a half month long process started in April by Ian Fette resulted
in a <a href="http://groups.google.com/groups?q=comp.lang.php&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&sel
m=1025483879.39561%40isc.org&rnum=3">177-11 vote</a> in favor of the group.
The new group is already carried on most news servers, and should be carried
on almost all news servers in the world within the next few days.
</p>
<p>
The new group is important for a few reasons: Firstly, the old alt.* php
groups suffered from poor propagation - i.e. not all servers carried them,
and the community was split between multiple groups. This new group offers a
chance to unite the PHP-Usenet community. Secondly, most servers have longer
post-retention times for comp.* than alt.*. Finally, the creation of
comp.lang.php represents PHP's coming to acceptance and maturity. Virtually
all languages have a spot under the comp.lang.* hierarchy. Stop on by and
become a part of the community - comp.lang.php is a great place to get help
and to help others.

<h1>Alpha 2 of PHP w/ the Zend Engine 2 Now Available</h1>
<p>
<font class="newsdate">[30-Jun-2002]</font>
The second alpha release of PHP w/ Zend Engine 2 is
<?php download_link("php-4.3.0-dev-zend2-alpha2.tar.gz", "now available"); ?>.
It is based on the current PHP 4 CVS (4.3.0-dev) and includes the new
scripting engine which greatly improves the object model, adds exception
handling and provides a much better infrastructure for the integration
of external technologies like Java or .NET. For more details and
examples you can check out the <a href="ZEND_CHANGES.txt">CHANGES file</a>
and an <a href="http://www.php.net/source.php?url=/zend2_example.phps">example script</a>
which shows how some of these features can be used.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> This is an alpha version. It should not be used in production
or even semi-production web sites. There are known bugs in it, and in
addition, some of the features may change (based on feedback). We
encourage you to download and play with it (and report bugs if you find any!),
but please don't expect it to replace your copy of PHP 4 at this stage.</p>
<p>Windows binary version is also available for
<?php download_link("php-4.3.0-dev-zend2-win32-alpha2.zip", "download"); ?>.</p>
