The news on the front page of php.net has changed, the conference announcements are now located on their own page. The idea is to keep php.net specific news clear and also opens the door for additional news entries, like for RC releases. More changes are on the way so keep an eye out.

The PHP documentation team is proud to present to the PHP community a few fixes and tweaks to the PHP Manual, including: an improved, XSL-based build system that will deliver compiled manuals to mirrors in a more timely manner (goodbye dsssl) manual pages can now contain images (see imagearc() for an example) updated function version information and capture system (fewer "no version information, might be only in CVS" messages) ... and more to come! Please help us improve the documentation by submitting bug reports, and adding notes to undocumented functions.
