Subject: PHP 5.1.0RC4 Released
From: ilia@prohost.org (Ilia Alshanetsky)

The fourth and final release candidate of PHP 5.1.0 is now available for
testing. You can download the source packages from here:

http://downloads.php.net/ilia/php-5.1.0RC4.tar.bz2
4afd68f8e4fe532cea83f30bd2ff26f5

http://downloads.php.net/ilia/php-5.1.0RC4.tar.gz
679a0d12b8cb00c55d56621ea9609013

The Windows binaries will be available shortly from
http://downloads.php.net/ilia/ as well.

In the past two weeks a great deal of effort was put by a number of
developers towards stabilization of the 5.1 branch with over 20 bug
fixes made during this period alone. Based on our own tests (those wacky
phpt files) and those made by QA team and related projects, 5.1 is ready
for production. Pending discovery of any critical issues such as
crashes, security faults and regressions I intend to release 5.1 final
no later then November 10th.

Since we are at the final stages of release process I'd like to ask all
developers to confirm all their patches to 5.1 tree with me prior to
applying them. Any non-critical patches should be reserved for
subsequent releases (5.1.1, etc...).

I'd also like to ask everyone to once again to test their code against
5.1, we want this release to be as stable as possible and we need your
help to locate any non-yet discovered defects.
