The PHP development team would like to announce the immediate
availability of PHP 5.2.8. This release addresses a regression
introduced by 5.2.7 in regard to the magic_quotes functionality, that
was broken by an incorrect fix to the filter extension. All users who
have upgraded to 5.2.7 are encouraged to upgrade to this release,
alternatively you can apply a work-around for the bug by changing
"filter.default_flags=0" in php.ini.
For users upgrading from PHP 5.0 and PHP 5.1, an upgrade guide is
available here (http://www.php.net/migration52), detailing the changes
between those releases and PHP 5.2.8. For a full list of changes in
PHP 5.2.8, see the ChangeLog (http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.2.8).

What is the status of the 5.2.x series now?
Security fixes only? Random bugfixes?

We are at least a quarter away from a 5.3.0 release. And history has shown
that a .0 release does not have much production friends and there will be a
transition phase til 5.3.1 to 5.3.3. That said we can only close the branch
to security only once we have a new stable branch.
Best regards,
Marcus

In other words: 5.2 is still open for bug fixes.

I would prefer that 5.2 at this point was reserved for critical fixes
only. In mind those would include crash fixes, regression fixes and of
course any security fixes.
