<p>The PHP development team is proud to announce the <a href="http://downloads.php.net/johannes/">first alpha release</a> of the upcoming minor version update of PHP. <a href="http://downloads.php.net/pierre/">Windows binaries</a> will be available starting with alpha2 (intermediate snapshots available at <a href="http://snaps.php.net">snaps.php.net</a>). The new version PHP 5.3 is expected to improve stability and performance as well as add new language syntax and extensions. Several new features have already been documented in the <a href="http://php.net/docs.php">official documentation</a>, others are listed on the <a href="http://wiki.php.net/doc/scratchpad/upgrade/53">wiki</a> in preparation of getting documented. Please also review the <a href="http://php.net/php5news">NEWS</a> file.</p>
<strong>THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT PREVIEW - DO NOT USE IT IN PRODUCTION!</strong>
<p>The purpose of this alpha release is to encourage users to not only actively
participate in identifying bugs, but also in ensuring that all new features or
necessary backwards compatibility breaks are noted in the documentation. Please
report any findings to the <a href="mailto:php-qa@lists.php.net">QA mailinglist</a>
or the <a href="http://bugs.php.net">bug tracker</a>.</p>
<p>There have been a great number of other additions and improvements, but here is a short overview of the most important changes:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://php.net/language.namespaces">Namespaces</a> (documentation maybe out dated)</li>
<li><a href="http://php.net/oop5.late-static-bindings">Late static binding</a> and <a href="http://php.net/language.oop5.overloading">__callStatic</a></li>
<li>
<a href="http://wiki.php.net/rfc/closures">Lambda functions and closures</a>
</li>
<li>Addition of the <a href="http://php.net/book.intl">intl</a>, <a href="http://php.net/book.phar">phar</a> (phar is scheduled for some more work a head of alpha2), <a href="http://php.net/book.fileinfo">fileinfo </a> and <a href="http://php.net/book.sqlite3">sqlite3</a> extensions</li>
<li>Optional cyclic garbage collection</li>
<li>Optional support for the <a href="http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/PHP_MYSQLND">MySQLnd</a> replacement driver for libmysql</li>
<li>Windows older than Windows 2000 (Windows 98, NT4, etc.) are not supported anymore (<a href="http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/releasenotes">details</a>)</li>
<li>New syntax features like <a href="http://php.net/language.types.string#language.types.string.syntax.nowdoc">NOWDOC</a>, limited GOTO, ternary short cut "?:"</li>
</ul>
<p>Several under the hood changes also require in depth testing with existing applications to ensure that any backwards compatibility breaks are minimized. This is especially important for users that require the undocumented Zend engine multibyte support.</p>
<p>The current <a href="http://wiki.php.net/todo/php53">release plan</a> states that there will be alpha/beta/RC releases in 2-3 week intervals with an expected stable release of PHP 5.3 between mid September and mid October of 2008.</p>

<p>Overall 158 tests have been submitted as part of <a href="http://qa.php.net/testfest.php">TestFest 2008</a> since the launch of the <a href="http://testfest.php.net">TestFest submission site</a> by 30 different people from people all over the world. Actually this is not counting the various submissions by existing core developers, who also took this opportunity to add some more tests. This has actually increased total <a href="http://gcov.php.net/" target="_new">test coverage</a> for ext/reflection, ext/dom and ext/exif by about 10% each. While the organization of the TestFest was a bit adhoc, there were numerous TestFest events in local user groups. So the number of people exposed to the PHP test framework is much greater. Hopefully this will lead to more people submitting bug reports with an accompanying <a href="http://qa.php.net/write-test.php">phpt</a> test file!</p>
<p>Our top submitter Felix De Vliegher has actually committed his last submissions himself since, based on the high quality of his submissions, he has been granted commit rights to the PHP repository. We have not heard back from all participants, but we encourage everybody to <a href="http://www.deshong.net/?p=76" target="_new">blog</a> about their experience and provide us with feedback on how to improve future events.</p>
<p>Now better late than never, here are the 10 winners of the promised <a href="http://flickr.com/groups/elephpants/pool/">elePHPant</a> raffle sponsored by <a href="http://www.nexen.net">Nexen</a>. Note that Felix asked me not to include him in the raffle, since he is already herding quite a number of elePHPants at home.</p>
<ul>
<li>Eric Stewart</li>
<li>Håvard Eide</li>
<li>Marc Veldman</li>
<li>Michelangelo van Dam</li>
<li>Rein Velt</li>
<li>Rob Young</li>
<li>Sami Greenbury</li>
<li>Sebastian Deutsch</li>
<li>Sebastian Schürmann</li>
<li>Stefan Koopmanschap</li>
</ul>
<p>We will provide Nexen with the email addresses of the winners, so that they can arrange to get the elePHPants shipped. Also for those people wondering, you can continue to submit tests on the <a href="http://testfest.php.net">TestFest submission site</a>. A bit thank you to all participants and TestFest organizers! Without the countless people that helped organize local events, implement the infrastructure and submissions reviewers, the TestFest would have obviously not worked out as well as it has. We will surely do similar events in the future based on the big success of TestFest 2008.</p>

The upcomming PHP5.3 release introduces

The Open Source Developers' Conference 2008 is a conference run by open
source developers, for developers and business people. It covers
numerous programming languages across a range of operating systems, and
related topics such as business processes, licensing, and strategy.
Talks vary from introductory pieces through to the deeply technical. It
is a great opportunity to meet, share, and learn with like-minded
individuals.
</p>
<p>
This year, the conference will be held in <span class="location">Sydney, Australia</span> during the
first week of December. If you are an Open Source maintainer, developer
or user, the organising committee would encourage you to submit a talk
proposal on open source tools, solutions, languages or technologies you
are working with.

If you have any questions or require assistance with your submission,
please don't hesitate to ask!
</p>
<p>
We continue to recognise the increasing importance of Open Source
in providing a medium for collaboration between individuals,
researchers, business and government. In recognition of this and
ensure a high standard of presentations, we intend to peer-review
all submitted papers.

<p>The PHP-QA team would like to announce the
<a href="http://qa.php.net/testfest.php">TestFest</a> for the month of
May 2008. The TestFest is an event that aims at improving the
<a href="http://gcov.php.net">code coverage</a> of the
<a href="http://qa.php.net/running-tests.php">test suite</a> for the PHP
language itself. As part of this event, local User Groups (UG) are
invited to join the TestFest. These UGs can meet physically or come
together virtually. The point however is that people network to learn
together. Aside from being an opportunity for all of you to make friends
with like minded people in your (virtual) community, it also will
hopefully reduce the work load for the PHP.net mentors.</p>
<p>All it takes is someone to organize a UG to spearhead the event and
to get others involved in
<a href="http://qa.php.net/write-test.php">writing phpt tests</a>.
The submissions will then be reviewed by members of php.net before
getting included in the official test suite. Please visit the
<a href="http://qa.php.net/testfest.php">TestFest homepage</a> to get
additional details on the TestFest on how to get involved, either as a
UG or by setting up the necessary infrastructure.</p>
