# PHP 5.2.0RC1 Released - Thread: https://externals.io/message/24949 - Original archive: https://news-web.php.net/php.internals/24949 - Started by Ilia Alshanetsky on 2006-07-24T19:37:24+00:00 - Messages: 4 - Reply by email to internals@lists.php.net - More for agents: search with https://externals.io/search.md?q={query} · JSON API at https://externals.io/api · documentation at https://externals.io/llms.txt --- ## #24949 — Ilia Alshanetsky — 2006-07-24T19:37:24+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/24949#24949 The first release candidate of PHP 5.2.0 is finally out and the source packages can be found here: http://downloads.php.net/ilia/php-5.2.0RC1.tar.bz2 (fa36d378f7f1fd547b881b6323ae2c60) http://downloads.php.net/ilia/php-5.2.0RC1.tar.gz (e217195c90e123acce0c2f71ac07f88d) The windows binaries should be available shortly and will be found at http://downloads.php.net/ilia/. Given the long time it took to make this RC there are A LOT of changes, both in terms of new features and bug fixes. Please try to find the time to test this release over the course of the next few weeks so any issues can be resolved. If all goes well we will have a pre-final RC2 in about 3 weeks, tentative date August 14th. To see the full scope of the changes take a look at the NEWS file. The things of particular note are the 3 new extensions (zip, json and filter), which until now only had limited testing so any real-world testing would be highly appreciated. There have also been some performance tweaks done in the engine, so try to see how PHP 5.2.0 performs compared to earlier releases, if you notice any depredations in speed, please make us aware of it.

Nice we come to it. -- toggg --- ## #24993 — steve — 2006-07-26T23:33:27+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/24949#24993 · In reply to: #24952 Is it just me, or does the windows binary not load non-built-in extensions? Even if I set my php.ini to just this: extension_dir = "c:\Program Files\wamp\php\ext\" extension=php_mbstring.dll it doesn't work. None of them do. zend_extensions work though (surprised that they loaded on this version, actually). -s > Windows build is available at the following locations: > > Main distibution: > http://downloads.php.net/edink/php-5.2.0RC1-Win32.zip > > PECL collection: > http://downloads.php.net/edink/pecl-5.2.0RC1-Win32.zip > > Debug pack: > http://downloads.php.net/edink/php-debug-pack-5.2.0RC1-Win32.zip > > Edin > > > Ilia Alshanetsky wrote: > > […]
