I guess I’ve been putting off subscribing to php|architect for too long…unless…you wouldn’t happen to know if it’s going to be the free feature article, do you?

PHP-GTK 2 has an almost completely new architecture, yes. But there are also many changes in Gtk+ itself as well as in PHP 5, so it virtually aggregates those as well. There will be an two-part article on PHP-GTK 2 published in php|architect soon, and I think there should be more “what’s new ” write-ups coming up.

Outstanding…but, unfortunately, I can’t garner many specific changes from the changelog. I assume, then, that the Zeta release is almost entirely architectural changes? Or maybe you could tell us, when you get a chance, some of what’s covered by “1.5 gajillion little and big pieces” (http://gtk.php.net/changelog.php).

Well. After alpha and beta there would be gamma which is quite common (at least here in germany) to label software that is some kind of release candidate.
