Hello!

Johannes has packaged PHP 5.3.0alpha3, which you can find here:
http://downloads.php.net/johannes/

Windows binaries thanks to Pierre, which are available here:
http://windows.php.net/qa/

Please test it carefully, and report any bugs in the bug system, but  
only if you have a short reproducable test case.

It seems unlikely that we will be able to release a beta this year.  
However we currently do not plan another alpha release unless we find  
larger issues in the namespace changes. Please also note that the  
documentation for namespaces has been updated already:
http://php.net/namespace

regards,
Johannes and Lukas

Not 100% true. The example are missing the separator due to wrong
syntax highlighting.
This has been fixed in CVS and will be updated tomorrow.

Until then, please use the "special docs mirror": http://docs.php.net/namespaces

Fixed, the files were there but a change I made in the scripts was
setting the wrong directory. Thanks for the head up!

Cheers,
