In conjunction with this other post, Ilian Alshantesky has posted his own announcement about the latest Release Candidate from the PHP group - PHP 5.2.2 RC2.

Since there were no major regressions in RC1 and RC2 only resolved pre-existing issues the goal is to proceed with the final release next Thursday. To make sure that the release is solid and does not break any existing code I would like ask everyone to test it against their code to see if everything still works as expected. If you identify any new issues since 5.2.1, please let me know.

Here's the downloads:
