Hello!

Johannes has packaged PHP 5.3.0RC1, which you can find here:
http://downloads.php.net/johannes/

Windows binaries are available here:
http://windows.php.net/qa/

This release candidate makes us feature complete and we hope to only  
require minimal changes ahead of the next release. Many, but not all,  
of the new features are already integrated in the official  
documentation on php.net.

Please not that we are aware of minor issues with integer handling  
that we still want to fix (though most of them have also affected PHP  
5.2) and a crash bug in NSAPI. Expect an RC2 in 2-3 weeks time, though  
for most users there will not be a noticeable change meaning that now  
is the time to start doing the final testing of PHP 5.3.0 before it  
gets released with any unnecessary incompatibilities with your project.

Some additional links to get started:
http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/php-src/NEWS?view=markup&pathrev=PHP_5_3
http://wiki.php.net/doc/scratchpad/upgrade/53

Best Regards,
Johannes and Lukas
PHP 5.3 Release Managers

The .ini files in the 5.3RC1-VC6-nts-package are empty. Can someone fix 
this?
