PHP 4.0.2 Released Reply

Group: php.announce Subscribe Posted:8/29/2000 7:40:46 PM Replies:0 Views:26 Items(0)
PHP 4.0.2 has been released. This is a maintenance version, with no big=20
revolutions. It mostly features many bug fixes, some new functionality,=20
and increased performance under certain circumstances. Users that are=20
happy with PHP 4.0.1pl2 that aren't experiencing any of the problems that=20
were fixed, and don't need the new functionality, don't necessarily have to=
=20
upgrade - even though 4.0.2 is a recommended upgrade.

As for PHP 3.0 users, well, time to sync in :) I'd like to take this=20
opportunity to strongly urge people to upgrade to PHP 4.0. The number of=20
reasons to do this is too long to be listed here, so I'll only say that PHP=
=20
4.0 is superior to PHP 3.0 in *every* aspect, be it performance, stability=
=20
or features. The only reasonable reason to stay with PHP 3.0, temporarily,=
=20
is if your applications require porting to PHP 4.0 (and then too, my=20
suggestion is to try and make the necessary fixes when you get the=20
time). Otherwise, staying with PHP 3.0 makes no sense

The full list of changes is enclosed.
