No major user-visible changes were made for this release [to the PHP installer], but all the problems people had with configuring IIS and Apache should have gone away with this release. I've made some changes to the builder so that it supports an installer for PHP 6, which should appear on snaps.php.net soon.

The announcement about the snaps website is the facelift it's gotten to make things more like the main PHP site and a bit easier to navigate to find the snapshot you want.

It's been a while, but it was time for a fresher layout. There was even a positive side effect - cleaner code and a performance boost for the new pages. There are also a few new small features included, including the ability to comment on each of the news items. So here's to more fun on DynamicWebPages and a great start to a brand new year!

There's tons of great content on the site, and the new layout only helps to make it all that much more accessible. Great job, Wolfgang - a definite improvement!
