I've just packaged PHP 5.1.2RC1, the first release candidate for the next 5.1 version. A small holiday present for all PHP users, from the the PHP developers ;-). This is primarily a bug fixing release with its major points being:

• Many fixes to the strtotime() function, over 10 bugs have been resolved.
• A fair number of fixes to PDO and its drivers
• New OCI8 that fixes large number of bugs backported from head.
• A final fix for Apache 2 crash when SSI includes are being used.
• A number of crash fixes in extensions and core components.
• XMLwriter & Hash extensions were added and enabled by default.
