Hello!

Stas has packed PHP 5.4.0alpha2 which you can find here:

    http://downloads.php.net/stas/

The Windows team provides windows binaries which you find 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. We will have an alpha3
in about 3 to 4 weeks.

regards,
Stas and David

Good stuff.

The wiki currently says it will be on 4 Aug.  If this date isn't
certain, can you add a note to that effect on the wiki?

Thanks,

Chris

it's the currently proposed date. I didn't want to have it in the
announcement so we can adjust it if feel to.

Hello,

I'm using Windows XP Apache 2.2 build with VC9 x86 from Apache Lounge.
5.4.0alpha1 works, but 5.4.0alpha2 is broken with "SideBySide" error.

Is there any difference in building environment between alpha1 and alpha2?
Thanks very much.

Can you log a bug at http://bugs.php.net/ so this can be tracked?

hi,

Please try using a snapshot instead. a2 introduced something that was
supposed to help with the CRT versions support but had the exact
opposite effect. There was already a bug report about it and is now
closed.
