However, to further extend our analysis of past writings... the following is taken from the 4.4.8 release announcement[1]: "... This release wraps up all the outstanding patches for the PHP 4.4 series, and is therefore the last normal PHP 4.4 release. If necessary, releases to address security issues could be made until 2008-08-08." This indicates a potential future release. Regards, Philip [1] http://news.php.net/php.announce/72
