The PHP Development Team would like to announce
the immediate release of
PHP 4.4.0.
This is a maintenance release that addresses a serious memory
corruption problem within PHP concerning references. If
references were used in a wrong way, PHP would often create
memory corruptions which would not always surface and be
visible. The increased middle digit was required because the fix
that corrected the problem with references changed PHP's
internal API. PHP 4.4.0 does not have any new features, and is
solely a bugfix release.
A separate release announcement is also
available.
For changes in PHP 4.4.0 since PHP 4.3.11, please consult the
PHP 4
ChangeLog.
