The PHP development team announces the immediate availability of PHP
5.3.27. About 10 bugs were fixed, including a security fix in the XML
parser (Bug #65236).
Please Note: This will be the last regular release of the PHP 5.3
series. All users of PHP are encouraged to upgrade to PHP 5.4 or PHP
5.5. The PHP 5.3 series will receive only security fixes for the next
year.
For source downloads of PHP 5.3.27 please visit our downloads page on
http://www.php.net/downloads.php, Windows binaries can be found on
http://windows.php.net/download/. The list of changes is recorded in
the ChangeLog on http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.3.27.

The exact date of true EOL is 11 Jul 2014, right?

I don't have an exact date. The voted RFC states "1 year after 5.5
release", which would mean June 20th, now this release, 5.3.27, was a
tiny bit delayed. So I'd look at July 3rd or 10th (Thursday is our
"traditional" release day) But mind: If there is an critical issue
reported on July 12 and we need time to fix it, and maybe a RC cycle, we
might end up having a release somewhere end July, maybe even August. But
on the other hand: Let's hope there is no critical issue and this all is
theory. :)
