Software Update: PHP 4.2.0 RC2

On the site of Betanews is now an RC2 of PHP 4.2.0. This version has a huge speed gain for servers running under Windows. Furthermore, there is no changelog to be found. Below is a quote from the site.

PHP started as a quick Perl hack written by Rasmus Lerdorf in late 1994. Over the next two to three years, it evolved into what we know today as PHP/FI 2.0. PHP/FI started to get a lot of users, but things didn’t start flying until Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans suddenly came along with a new parser in the summer of 1997, leading to PHP 3.0. PHP 3.0 defined the syntax and semantics used in both versions 3 and 4.
