PHP 5.2.16 Released!
The PHP development team would like to announce the immediate availability of
PHP 5.2.16. This release marks the end of support for PHP 5.2. All users of
PHP 5.2 are encouraged to upgrade to PHP 5.3.
This release focuses on addressing a regression in open_basedir implementation
introduced in 5.2.15 in addition to fixing a crash inside PDO::pgsql on data
retrieval when the server is down. All users who have upgraded to 5.2.15 and
are utilizing open_basedir are strongly encouraged to upgrade to 5.2.16 or
5.3.4.
To prepare for upgrading to PHP 5.3, now that PHP 5.2's support ended, a
migration guide available on http://php.net/migration53, details the changes
between PHP 5.2 and PHP 5.3.

that databases/php-pdo compiles and works as shared module on Mac OS X
after the package has been modified to use modules shipped with PHP instead
of (obsolete) PCRE versions
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
Security Enhancements and Fixes in PHP 5.2.9:
* Fixed security issue in imagerotate(), background colour isn't validated correctly with a non truecolour image. Reported by Hamid Ebadi, APA Laboratory (Fixes CVE-2008-5498). (Scott)
* Fixed a crash on extract in zip when files or directories entry names contain a relative path. (Pierre)
* Fixed explode() behavior with empty string to respect negative limit. (Shire)
* Fixed a segfault when malformed string is passed to json_decode(). (Scott)
Key enhancements in PHP 5.2.9 include:
* Added optional sorting type flag parameter to array_unique(). Default is SORT_REGULAR. (Andrei)
* Fixed bug #45996 (libxml2 2.7 causes breakage with character data in xml_parse()). (Rob)
* A number of fixes in the mbstring extension (Moriyoshi)
* Fixed bug #44336 (Improve pcre UTF-8 string matching performance). (frode at coretrek dot com, Nuno)
* Fixed bug #46699 (xml_parse crash when parser is namespace aware). (Rob)
* Fixed bug #46748 (Segfault when an SSL error has more than one error). (Scott)
* Fixed bug #46889 (Memory leak in strtotime()). (Derick)
* Fixed bug #47049 (SoapClient::__soapCall causes a segmentation fault). (Dmitry)
* Fixed bug #47165 (Possible memory corruption when passing return value by reference). (Dmitry)
* Fixed bug #47282 (FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL is marking valid email addresses as invalid). (Ilia)
