New from Zend this morning is their latest weekly summary, that's filled with a bit more information than usual, it seems.

This summary highlights things like the discussion of compiling PHP with LCC versus GCC, the makeover that the PHP snapshots website has gotten (snaps.php.net), and a fun little patch that will allow the error messages in PHP to produce clickable links directly to more information about that error (something that will be quite nice, especially for beginners - PHP is notoriously arcane when it comes to error messages).

They also mention some of the major bugs that they've been fixing in the upcoming PHP 4.3.0 release - things like: mime_magic no longer crashes when specifying an incorrect file, DBA extension was not working correctly with Windows, and, in addition to other cleanups, php_mysql_do_connect is receiving a speed up.

Also note, that there is now an official 4.3.0 branch in the CVS repository....we're almost there.
