At long last PHP 5.3 RC3 is here – RC2 came out last month so hopefully it wont be long now before the GA version is released. If you haven’t already downloaded it and tested it out now is the time to do it. PHP 5.3 brings a whole plethera of new features including the SPLFxiedArray class (you can no longer disable this) as well as PHP’s native mysqlnd driver which promises some serious performance increases.
Update: RC4 is now out. Bring on the final release.
