Na de so-called 'final release' van php-4.1.0 van twee weken geleden (zie http://www.tweakers.net/meuktracker/1294 ) is nu dan toch de officiele release van PHP 4.1.0.
Zie verder http://www.php.net/release_4_1_0.phpAfter a lengthy QA process, PHP 4.1.0 is finally out.

PHP 4.1.0 includes several other key improvements:
- A new input interface for improved security (read below)
- Highly improved performance in general
- Revolutionary performance and stability improvements under
Windows. The multithreaded server modules under Windows (ISAPI,
Apache, etc.) perform as much as 30 times faster under load! We
want to thank Brett Brewer and his team in Microsoft for working
with us to improve PHP for Windows.
- Versioning support for extensions. Right now it's barely being
used, but the infrastructure was put in place to support separate
version numbers for different extensions. The negative side effect
is that loading extensions that were built against old versions of
PHP will now result in a crash, instead of in a nice clear message.
Make sure you only use extensions built with PHP 4.1.0.
- Turn-key output compression support
- *LOTS* of fixes and new functions
As some of you may notice, this version is quite historical, as it's
the first time in history we actually incremented the middle digit!
The two key reasons for this unprecedented change were the new input
interface, and the broken binary compatibility of modules due to the
versioning support.
