Hi,

The second beta for 5.6.0 was just released and can be downloaded from:

    http://qa.php.net/

The Windows binaries are available at

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

This release includes a couple of new features, such as:

   - Watchpoint support for phpdbg
   - A new fetching mode to mysqlnd which uses less memory but implies more
   memory copy

Please test it carefully, and report any bugs in the bug system.
Beta 3 will be tagged on Tuesday 13th and release on Thursday 15th.

Regards,
    Julien Pauli and Ferenc Kovacs
