PHP 5 released!

We all had a feeling it was coming really soon now, what with the last-and-probably-final release candidate being on June 8, as well as because of some other intangible things, but PHP 5 has been released.

Update: Check out Zend's PHP 5 center, and this in depth look at what's new in the Zend Engine II (which powers PHP 5).

PHP is a much different language this time around. I just noticed for the first time that it has Python-like overloading features. Also check out this stuff about PHP 5's improved XML support.

Update: Here's a really detailed article on Migrating from PHP 4 to PHP 5.
