The PHP Security Blog has this new post with information on the latest patch for the Hardened-PHP Project that has been released on version 0.4.2.

The Hardened-PHP Project has just announced the release of version 0.4.2 of their Hardening-Patch for PHP.

The release features: support for PHP 5.0.5, upgrade to PEAR::XML_RPC 1.4.0, the new functions sha256() and sha256_file(), CRYPT_BLOWFISH support for more secure password hashing with crypt() on all platforms, some minor fixes for compilation problems, and additional debugging messages for admins.

Sounds like the project is really progressing well, and it's good to see that they're keeping up with the new releases of PHP so quickly. You can download the latest patch from here...
