After a lengthy QA process, PHP 4.3.3 is finally out! This maintenance
release solves a fair number of bugs found in prior PHP versions and

improvements:

* Fixed several potentially hazardous integer and buffer overflows.
* Fixed corruption of multibyte character including 0x5c as second byte in
multipart/form-data.
* Fixed each() to be binary safe for keys.
* Major improvements to the NSAPI SAPI
* Improvements to the IMAP extension
* Improvements to the InterBase extension
* Added DBA handler 'inifile' to support ini files.
* Added long options into CLI & CGI (e.g. --version).
* Added a new parameter to preg_match*() that can be used to specify the
starting offset in the subject string to match from.
* Upgraded the bundled Expat library to version 1.95.6
* Upgraded the bundled PCRE library to version 4.3
* Upgraded the bundled GD library to version GD 2.0.15
