byChris Cornutt Jun 11, 2005 @ 14:23:43

From PHP.net:

PHP 5.1 Beta 1 is now available! A lot of work has been put into this upcoming release and we believe it is ready for public testing.

Some of the key improvements of PHP 5.1 include:

  • PDO (PHP Data Objects) - A new native database abstraction layer providing performance, ease-of-use, and flexibility.
  • Significantly improved performance including a new Zend Engine II execution architecture.
  • The PCRE extension has been updated to PCRE 5.0.
  • Many more improvements including lots of new functionality & many bug fixes, especially in regards to SOAP, streams and SPL.
See the bundled NEWS file for a more complete list of changes.

Everyone is encouraged to start playing with this beta, although it is not yet recommended for mission-critical production use.

So, get on over and get to testing this new beta! The sooner we take care of the bug, the sooner we can get our hands on the final release of this great update!
