Just when you thought it was safe and stable, those crazy guys over on PHP.net have posted a new release candidate: PHP 4.3.3RC1!

PHP 4.3.3RC1 has been released for testing. This is the first release candidate and should have a very low number of problems and/or bugs. Nevertheless, please download and test it as much as possible on real-life applications to uncover any remaining issues. List of changes can be found in the NEWS file.

Among the changes are: updates to the GD libraries, improvements to several extensions including IMAP, Interbase, and NSAPI SAPI module, and several bug fixes. As always, if you'd like to help out, go download this latest build and get to testing!
