I believe they are up to 3.23.23 with 3.23.22 being the latest stable
release. and it went GPL as of 3.23.19 So all is well.

I've installed 3.23.19 on a production system. And it's running as solid as
a rock as far as I can see.

I agree. I think some of the newer features of PHP4 will come in very handy
for this project. Looking at the status of the PHP-xxxxx mailing lists most
of the users there already have moved over to it. And that's a nice size
