There is no core (as in zend engine) for 95% of our users. From NEWS: - Added and improved PHP syntax and semantics: . Added NOWDOC. (Gwynne Raskind, Stas, Dmitry) . Added "?:" operator. (Marcus) . Added support for namespaces. (Dmitry, Stas, Gregory) . Added support for Late Static Binding. (Dmitry, Etienne Kneuss) . Added support for __callstatic() magic method. (Sara) . Added support for dynamic access of static members using $foo::myFunc(). (Etienne Kneuss) . Improved checks for callbacks. (Marcus) And that's not counting extension stuff. I of course value a lot the importance given to intl, but 5.3 IMHO is juicier than just intl :) -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: stas@zend.com
