The first release candidate of PHP 5.2.0 is finally out and the
source packages can be found here:

http://downloads.php.net/ilia/php-5.2.0RC1.tar.bz2
(fa36d378f7f1fd547b881b6323ae2c60)
http://downloads.php.net/ilia/php-5.2.0RC1.tar.gz
(e217195c90e123acce0c2f71ac07f88d)

The windows binaries should be available shortly and will be found at
http://downloads.php.net/ilia/.

Given the long time it took to make this RC there are A LOT of
changes, both in terms of new features and bug fixes. Please try to
find the time to test this release over the course of the next few
weeks so any issues can be resolved. If all goes well we will have a
pre-final RC2 in about 3 weeks, tentative date August 14th.  To see
the full scope of the changes take a look at the NEWS file. The
things of particular note are the 3 new extensions (zip, json and
filter), which until now only had limited testing so any real-world
testing would be highly appreciated. There have also been some
performance tweaks done in the engine, so try to see how PHP 5.2.0
performs compared to earlier releases, if you notice any depredations
in speed, please make us aware of it.

Is it just me, or does the windows binary not load non-built-in extensions?

Even if I set my php.ini to just this:
extension_dir = "c:\Program Files\wamp\php\ext\"
extension=php_mbstring.dll
it doesn't work. None of them do. zend_extensions work though
(surprised that they loaded on this version, actually).

8 tests failed is not a load , though 5 are related to filters.

I did only monkey test.
