PHP, an HTML-embedded scripting language with syntax borrowed from C, Java, and Perl, with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown in, has been updated to version 5.5.0 RC3.

Highlights for PHP 5.5.0 RC3:

• A segfault has been corrected in gc_zval_possible_root; • A heap based buffer overflow has been fixed in quoted_printable_encod; • User can now connect to SQL Server 2008 with PDO dblib; • A buffer overflow has been fixed in _pdo_pgsql_error; • pdo_dblib can connect to Azure SQL; • hash_pbkdf2() no longer truncates data when using the default length and hex output.

You can check out the official changelog in the readme file incorporated in the source package.
