PHP 5.1 released
Having gotten my web programming start with it, I have a soft spot for PHP, so even though it has been shoved out of the spotlight by the likes of Ruby on Rails and Django (which, I am aware, are frameworks and not programming languages), I always take notice when a new major version hits the street. Today saw the release of PHP 5.1.0, and the Changelog is extensive. The highlights from the PHP web site:
- A complete rewrite of date handling code, with improved timezone support.
- Significant performance improvements compared to PHP 5.0.X.
- PDO extension is now enabled by default.

- Over 400 various bug fixes.
- PEAR upgraded to version 1.4.5
Hit the downloads page to grab your copy, but be sure to read the upgrade notes to avoid the gotchas.
