Subject: FPM is available in a separate SVN branch
From: tony@daylessday.org (Antony Dovgal)

Hello all.

I'm glad to announce that we now have FPM SAPI available for testing in a separate SVN branch.

You can check out its sources using the following command:
svn co http://svn.php.net/repository/php/php-src/branches/PHP_5_3_FPM php_5_3_fpm

Building FPM is as easy as `./configure --enable-fpm && make install`.
After that you need to adjust the default config file (installed into $prefix/etc) 
and run `php-fpm`.


For those who don't know what FPM is: FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is an alternative 
PHP FastCGI implementation with some additional features useful for heavy-loaded sites.
These features include:
- advanced process management with graceful stop/start;
- ability to start workers with different uid/gid/chroot/environment and different php.ini (replaces safe_mode);
- stdout & stderr logging;
- emergency restart in case of accidental opcode cache destruction;
- accelerated upload support;
- "slowlog";
- fastcgi_finish_request() - special function to finish request & flush all data while 
continuing to do something time-consuming (video converting, stats processing etc.);
and some more.

You are welcome to test the code and report any issues to me (since it's not fully official, 
we don't have a category @ bugs.php.net yet).
