PHP 5.2.0 out
http://www.php.net/releases/5_2_0.php
Notable changes include the filter extension, zip extension and datetime objects.
Personally, I'm not sold on any of these, but it seems like a solid release and perhaps using them a little will change my mind.
Now... bets on when 5.2.1 will be forced to be released?

I read through the changes. I'm not sold on the filter extension either but I don't claim enough knowledge of it for anyone to pay me much attention
.
Having PHP JSON functions is quite nice. A project I'm working on at the moment uses a lot of JSON encoding (courtesy of ZF) so might speed things up a bit. The new DateTime class looks interesting.

Ahh crap!The PHP 5.0/5.1 fallback - returning a string that contains the object
identifier - has been dropped in PHP 5.2. It became problematic because
an object identifier cannot be considered unique. This change will mean
that your application is flawed if you have relied on the object identifier
as a return value. An attempt to use that value as a string will now result
in a catchable fatal error (see above).
