Peter Kokot dd8d8bf863 Sync final and leading newlines 
This patch adds some missing newlines, trims some multiple redundant
final newlines into a single one, and trims few redundant leading
newlines.

According to POSIX, a line is a sequence of zero or more non-'<newline>'
characters plus a terminating '<newline>' character. [1] Files should
normally have at least one final newline character.

C89 [2] and later standards [3] mention a final newline:
"A source file that is not empty shall end in a new-line character,
which shall not be immediately preceded by a backslash character."

Although it is not mandatory for all files to have a final newline
fixed, a more consistent and homogeneous approach brings less of commit
differences issues and a better development experience in certain text
editors and IDEs.

The <a href="http://conference.phpnw.org.uk">PHP North West
Conference</a> has announced its return for a second year, to be held
on Saturday 10th October 2009 in Manchester, UK. This is a one-day
conference aimed at developers from the local region and further
afield, with a deliberately low ticket price to ensure everyone who
wants to attend can do so. We combine experienced speakers with some
new local talent to bring an event that truly has something for
everyone and a great buzz.
</p>
<p>
The official conference is on the Saturday but there are social events
on Friday and Saturday and an informal schedule on Sunday, so come and
make a weekend of it with us in Manchester! All the venues are in
central Manchester and walkable from mainline public transport, so do
join us.
</p>
<p>
There is a call for papers which runs until 16th August 2009 and the
early bird ticket prices are fixed until September 10th. For more
information, to submit a paper, to buy tickets, or to contact the
organisers please visit the <a href="http://conference.phpnw.org.uk">conference website</a>.

The migration from CVS to Subversion is complete. The web interface is at
<a href="http://svn.php.net">svn.php.net</a>. You can read about it at
<a href="http://php.net/svn.php">php.net/svn.php</a>,
<a href="http://wiki.php.net/vcs/svnfaq">wiki.php.net/vcs/svnfaq</a>. The
URL to feed to your svn client is http://svn.php.net/repository.
</p>
<p>
There is also a <a href="http://github.com/php">github mirror</a>. Please
use that instead of trying to do a full git clone from the svn repository. See
the instructions at <a href="http://wiki.php.net/vcs/svnfaq#git">wiki.php.net/vcs/svnfaq#git</a>
</p>
<p>
Many thanks to Gwynne who did the bulk of the work and also all the other folks who pitched in.
It was a major effort to move 14 years of CVS history to another RCS.

So finally we are at the end of the
<a href="http://wiki.php.net/qa/testfest">2009 PHP TestFest</a>.
It has been an outstanding success with the
<a href="http://gcov.php.net/PHP_5_3/lcov_html/">coverage increasing</a>
by about 2.5% overall and 887 new tests contributed in the TestFest SVN
repository of which 637 have already been added to PHP CVS.
</p>
<p>
<a href="http://wiki.php.net/usergroups">User groups</a> from all
over the world have worked hard to make this happen and we thank
<a href="http://results.testfest.php.net">each and every one of you</a>
for your contribution to PHP!
You really made a difference to the PHP5.3 release quality.
</p>
<p>
There still are few loose ends to tie up - the
<a href="http://testfest.php.net/repos/testfest/">TestFest SVN repository</a>
will be <em>closed</em> for contributions later this week and the last few
tests will be moved into the main PHP repository. Finally, we have
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=all&amp;q=elephpants&amp;m=tags">10 elePHPants</a>
and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=all&amp;q=testfest+mug&amp;m=tags">9 TestFest mugs</a>
to give out. The winners of mugs and elePHPants
will be drawn at random from a list of people who wrote tests;
the winner's names will be announced later this month.
</p>
<p>
For those that would like to continue to make a difference by
writing tests there are two options. You can simply continue by
submitting new tests to the <a href="http://php.net/mailinglists">QA mailing list</a>,
or, if you have written a significant number of tests you might
consider applying for your own
<a href="http://php.net/cvs-php">PHP CVS (or SVN) ID</a>.
In your application you should reference the tests that you have
written in support of your application.
</p>
<p>
Last but not least, we would like to thank all of the
companies and institutions that sponsored TestFest.
These include Combell, Corretgé, Faculdade Impacta de Tecnologia, IBM,
iBuildings, Itera, Mayflower, Microsoft, Nexen (Alter Way Group), php|architect,
Redpill-Linpro, Steinigke Showtechnic, Verges Council and Zend.

TestFest is upon us once again. For those who don't know, this is the
time of year where User Groups and individuals donate a little of their
time and effort to increasing the test coverage of PHP.
</p>
<p>
Hundreds of thousands of lines of code are working in concert to
assemble one of the simplest to learn and fastest running scripting
languages in the business. All this is achieved with the expectation
that very few bugs will make it into releases and the ones that do
will be stomped out quickly, efficiently and will never be heard from
again. This is a lofty goal and is only possible through a system of
tests designed to continuously evaluate the well-being of PHP.
</p>
<p>
This year the QA Team has been very busy implementing new features
and improvements to make the TestFest experience easier and more
enjoyable than ever before. Some these improvements include a
Subversion repository for test storage and tracking, a Virtual
Machine for simple test environment setup, and improved documentation
of testing procedures.
</p>
<p>
2009 is looking to be the most successful TestFest event ever. Over
20 User Groups spanning Belgium, Brazil, Catalonia, Canada, France,
Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Peru, USA and the UK
have already registered. This is an incredible response and we still
have 2 months left to go.
</p>
<p>
Getting involved couldn't be simpler. Visit the
<a href="http://qa.php.net/testfest.php">QA TestFest page</a> to
find out how you can organize a TestFest event in your community.
We are looking forward to seeing your communities tests being
committed into PHP.

This RC focuses on bug fixes and stability improvements, and we hope only minimal changes are required
for the next candidate (RC3).
</p>
<p>
Expect an RC3 in 2-3 weeks, although there will not be major changes so now is a good
time to start the final testing of PHP 5.3.0 before it gets released, in order to find
possible incompatibilities with your project.
</p>
<p>
Please download and test this release candidate, and report any issues found.

</ul>
<p>All users of PHP, especially those using earlier PHP 5 releases are advised to test this release as the final release of PHP 5.3.0 will eventually obsolete the 5.2 branch of PHP.</p>
<p>For users upgrading from previous PHP 5 releases there is an upgrading guide available <a href="http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/php-src/UPGRADING?view=markup&amp;pathrev=PHP_5_3">here</a>, detailing the changes between those releases and PHP 5.3.0.</p>
<p>Please also note that we are aware of issues surrounding float/integer handling in some edge cases (some of which have been introduced in PHP 5.2.0), as well as a crash bug in NSAPI, that will be fixed in PHP 5.3.0RC2. These issues however do not prevent wide spread testing of PHP 5.3.0RC1 as users can now rely on the feature set and implementation decisions no longer being changed.</p>
<p>For a full list of changes in PHP 5.3.0, see the CVS <a href="http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/php-src/NEWS?view=markup&amp;pathrev=PHP_5_3">NEWS</a> file.</p>
