This release focuses on improving the stability and security of the PHP 5.3.x branch with over 100 bug fixes, some of which are security related. All users are encouraged to upgrade to this release. Backwards incompatible change:Methods with the same name as the last element of a namespaced class name will no longer be treated as constructor. This change doesn't affect non-namespaced classes.

Networking,Programming,Virtualization,Linux,Girish 2010/05/26 Girish Venkatachalam Girish Venkatachalam is a UNIX hacker with more than a decade of networking and crypto programming experience. His hobbies include yoga,cycling, cooking and he runs his own business. Details here: http://gayatri-hitech.com http://spam-cheetah.com I love the poor. I feel that the poor are more sensible when you see the antics of the rich. And for some reasons many Indians believe that creating wealth is sinful. Anyway although I have several physical machines with me I still prefer not having to power them on, connect the power chord, the Ethernet chord, use a switch/hub and so on. Very messy. How about a way to create a network without any of these? But before that we need to know where I am coming from. I am a networking geek and I make my living solving complex networking problems. By that I mean really complex ones. In fact my product SpamCheetah itself involves quite a bit of complex networking concepts. The other thing that I want is use skype on OpenBSD, my favorite OS. Skype runs on linux and FreeBSD using emulation. But I don't like FreeBSD. I don't want to run linux just for skype. But there is an additional complication here. Audio has to work. But for that I would have solved this problem long ago. It turns out that qemu gives us this and much much more. I am certain many of you know qemu already. It is 100% open source and is a fabulous tool. It is fast. Real fa

The EU Commission has just announced its 5-year plan for IT, which they call its Digital Agenda:The Agenda outlines seven priority areas for action: creating a digital Single Market, greater interoperability, boosting internet trust and security, much faster internet access, more investment in research and development, enhancing digital literacy skills and inclusion, and applying information and communications technologies to address challenges facing society like climate change and the ageing population. Examples of benefits include easier electronic payments and invoicing, rapid deployment of telemedicine and energy efficient lighting. In these seven areas, the Digital Agenda foresees some 100 follow-up actions, of which 31 would be legislative. What interests us at Groklaw the most on that list of seven areas is interoperability, I'd wager, and here's the goal they set for that:Improve ICT standard-setting and interoperability To allow people to create, combine and innovate we need ICT products and services to be open and interoperable. I can't help but think of Microsoft's recent bragging about not being fully interoperable with Google Docs. I think they're not yet on the interoperability train that is already leaving the station, and I hope they hop on board before it's too late. Meanwhile, ECIS has issued a statement, commending the EU Commission on its Digital Agenda, particularly the part about interoperability:We're pleased the European Commission has
