Over on PHP Magazine's webite today is the latest issue of PHPBarnstormer, the look back at the pst week's news.

In this edition there's talk of the PHP 5 Coding Contest (and the number of entries currently shown on the page), the discussion of Zend engine patches on the mailing lists, and mentions of the Graphpite and Crypt_Xtea2 packages.

Releases this past week included: HTTP-1.3.2 (stable), HTML_Progress-1.2.0 (stable), classkit-0.4 (beta), and Crypt_Xtea-1.1.0RC1 (beta).

Package in focus this week: Text_Wiki, a useful tool to convert wiki text to XHTML (and many others eventually).
