New this morning from Zend is their latest PHP Weekly Summary for this past week.

In this week's edition, they discuss a few very important things like the fact that PHP 4.3.2 RC2 is not very far off. It seems there are only 9 issues remaining of the original 20 that were targeted for fixing, so it is likely we will see the next RC soon. Also, there's talk of a "hosting package" for PHP installs that would make the zlib, pcre, and openssl packages part of the core rather than extensions (for optimization).

There are some smaller things as well, including a patch for the Zend Engine to make it more "class friendly", and a new "stream filter patch" that will allow the use of an internal zval variable, instead of just a string in the stream_filter_append() function.
