<h1>PHP 4.3.4RC3 released</h1>
<p>
 <span class="newsdate">[29-Oct-2003]</span>
 <a href="http://qa.php.net/">PHP 4.3.4RC3</a> has been released for testing.
 This release candidate is hopefully the final release candidate prior to the
 4.3.4 release and should be very stable. Please test this release as much as 
 possible, so that any remaining issues can be uncovered and resolved prior to 
 the final release. Users of the mbstring extension are especially encouraged to
 try and test this release candidate as the underlying library used by mbstring
 was changed.

<h1>European Open Source Development Threatened!</h1>
<p>
 <span class="newsdate">[27-Aug-2003]</span>
 Today sees an international day of protest against the move by the EU to
 make obtaining a patent easier within Europe. Such patents may cause Open
 Source software such as PHP to infringe on existing licenses and new ones, 
 meaning we would no longer be safe to distribute PHP within Europe. Contact
 your EU Representative to get this cruicial vote blocked. Find out more at

 items published on PHP.net since January 1998, when the site started

 <span class="newsdate">[29-Jul-2003]</span>
 After many of our users requested a change in how
 <a href="/urlhowto.php">our URL shortcuts</a> behave when someone mistypes
 a shortcut, the default behaviour now is to look for a function name
 instead of performing a documentation search on Google. Those, who were
 satisfied with the Google search, can <a href="/my.php">set their
 preference at the My PHP.net page</a>. We are working on a better
 onsite search solution, Google is used temporarily to search our site.
