Hi Internals,

PHP 5.5.0 Alpha 6 has been released for testing. As you know we were
supposed to release a first beta but due to the current voting on ZO+
we went for yet another alpha. This time, it's the last one.

The packages can be found at:

  http://downloads.php.net/dsp

and windows packages at

  http://windows.php.net/qa

Please test the release carefully and report any bugs. We will begin
with the beta stage in two weeks.

March 19 will mark the last date for new features. During beta phase no
new features will be allowed to get in.  Therefore you have two weeks
to get any feature additions, etc on. RFCs that are currently voted on
and not finished before March 19 should not be included.

Thanks for all the contributors.

Regards
  Julien and David

Please add alpha6 to bugs.php.net. There is a BC break in compiling
pecl_http, that I had to report under alpha5. It is something for the
maintainers of pecl_http to solve, but nevertheless...
