The PHP development team is proud to announce the second release candidate of PHP 5.3.0 (PHP 5.3.0RC2). This RC focuses on bug fixes and stability improvements, and we hope only minimal changes are required for the next candidate (RC3).

Expect an RC3 in 2-3 weeks, although there will not be major changes so now is a good time to start the final testing of PHP 5.3.0 before it gets released, in order to find possible incompatibilities with your project.

This quote of the PHP 5.3 RC2 release statement clearly says that there will not be major changes. Almost all new syntax is already documented in the manual, and php is pushing to get folks working and testing code out in PHP 5.3

The syntax is locked in. I suspect NuSphere is probably already working on this stuff. The question is, when will knowledge of that become public. Wink

I will say that syntax changes is a far superior argument to the argument about web hosts and what they support; however, it has been said that the topic would be revisited with the RC1 release, and that tells me NuSphere is probably at least talking about this stuff internally.

Still no support for the new syntax of PHP 5.3, even in the latest 5.8 release. NuSphere boast about a PHP 5.3 debugger, but mustn't be expecting anyone to actually use it if they still don't have support for the new 5.3 syntax. It's a slack in my opinion. I would have expected support for 5.3 as soon as it hit beta, which was months and months ago. Come on NuSphere, PHP 5.3 will be released in only week or two, if not a few days, give us an editor that has proper syntax validator. I mean, considering this application is ONLY about PHP, I would have thought that this would be considered an absolute priority.

It is kinda silly to boast about 5.3 debugger, yet the PHP version that is shipped with 5.8 is PHP 5.2.9, so you get a syntax error using a namespace. Dont get me wrong, you guys are way ahead of anything else that is out there, but dont brag about something if we cant even use it without using something else. Support it yourselves first. Stopped the work on the extra language support (i.e. JS) and can we get back to PHP?

So... PHP 5.3 is out http://www.php.net/releases/5_3_0.php

Now the german webhoster "Mittwald CM Service" has PHP 5.3 Final as option. You can test it 30 days for free with the FLOW3-Testaccounts (http://www.mittwald.de/flow3/)...so support of namespaces in PhpEd would be very fine for me.

LOL I think NuSphere is still waiting for the RC1....

They are currently putting a lot of resources in finalizing 5.3 support. I think you can't underestimate the huge amount of changes the new functionality causes in an interpreter and the rest of the editor (extra settings and so on). Especially the namespaces, code has to be interpreted in a whole different way.

Anyway, I think that the next build to come out will probably have made a lot of headway.
