Topic: PHP 5.5.0RC2 available (x86 & x64)

PHP 5.5.0RC2 was announced.
http://www.php.net/

If you want to test PHP 5.5.0, but are missing extensions, you may find them in my 5.5 builds:

Or you may want to try the x64 builds:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8954372/php-5.5.0RC2-Win32-VC11-x64.zip

In line with the official builds I have used VC11 as well. The x64 builds contain a working php_opcache.dll.

Beware: in PHP 5.5's php.ini you do not have to add a path in the zend_extension statements:

zend_extension=php_opcache.dll
zend_extension=php_xdebug.dll # load this one after opcache

Changelog:
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-5.5.0RC2/NEWS
PHP 5.5 dropped support for WinXP and Win2k3.

Thanks Jan-E. Everything is working great for me with PHP 5.5 RC2. Do you know how many RC releases they are planning before releasing 5.5?

Quote: This second RC could be the last one. Depending on bug reports, expect another RC or a stable release to be announced for June 6th.
