PHP5发布！

该死，昨天本来想要记录下来着的，结果忙活忙活竟然忘记了！

[13-Jul-2004] The PHP team is proud to announce the final release of PHP 5!

Some of the key features of PHP 5 include:

• The Zend Engine II with a new object model and dozens of new features.
• XML support has been completely redone in PHP 5, all extensions are now focused around the excellent libxml2 library (http://www.xmlsoft.org/).
• A new SimpleXML extension for easily accessing and manipulating XML as PHP objects. It can also interface with the DOM extension and vice-versa.
• A brand new built-in SOAP extension for interoperability with Web Services.
• A new MySQL extension named MySQLi for developers using MySQL 4.1 and later. This new extension includes an object-oriented interface in addition to a traditional interface; as well as support for many of MySQL's new features, such as prepared statements.
• SQLite has been bundled with PHP. For more information on SQLite, please visit their website.
• Streams have been greatly improved, including the ability to access low-level socket operations on streams.
• And lots more...

For changes since Release Candidate 3, please consult the ChangeLog.
