Hi,

The third alpha for 5.6.0 was just released and can be downloaded from:

    http://downloads.php.net/tyrael

The Windows binaries are available at

    http://windows.php.net/qa/

This release includes a couple of new features, such as the __debugInfo()
magic method, the clear_env config option for the FPM SAPI, the
function `opcache_is_script_cached()` and a bunch of ssl related improvements
including the support for the Windows CA cert store for peer verification
when no CA file is available.

Please test it carefully, and report any bugs in the bug system.
Beta 1 will be tagged on Tuesday 18th and release on Thursday 20th.

Regards,
    Julien Pauli and Ferenc Kovacs
