+<h1>PHP 5 Release Candidate 1 Released!</h1>
+<p>
+ <span class="newsdate">[18-Mar-2004]</span>
+ The <a href="/downloads.php#v5">first Release Candidate of PHP 5</a> is finally
+ here! The move from Beta stage to RC stage means that PHP 5 is now feature
+ complete, and is quite stable - stable enough for everyone to start playing
+ with. Note that it is still <i>not</i> recommended for mission-critical
+ use.
+</p>
+
+<p>Some of the key features of PHP 5 include:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ The <a href="http://www.zend.com/php5/zend-engine2.php">Zend Engine II</a>
+ with a new object model and dozens of new features.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ XML support has been completely redone in PHP 5, all extensions are now
+ focused around the excellent libxml2 library
+ (<a href="http://www.xmlsoft.org/">http://www.xmlsoft.org/</a> ).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ A new MySQL extension named MySQLi for developers using MySQL 4.1 and later.
+ This new extension includes an object-oriented interface in addition to
+ a traditional interface; as well as support for many of MySQL's new features,
+ such as prepared statements.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ SQLite has been bundled with PHP. For more information on SQLite,
+ please visit <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/">their website</a>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ A brand new built-in SOAP extension for interoperability with Web Services.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ A new SimpleXML extension for easily accessing and manipulating XML as
+ PHP objects. It can also interface with the DOM extension and vice-versa.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Streams have been greatly improved, including the ability to access
+ low-level socket operations on streams.
+ </li>
+ <li>And lots more...</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+ For changes since Beta 4, please consult the
+ <a href="/ChangeLog-5.php#5.0.0RC1">ChangeLog</a>.
