There and Back Again

Yesterday at azPhp I gave a short presentation about the benefits of upgrading to PHP 5. The slides for cool things in php 5 are available. If you goto the single page view you can see the notes that go with the presentation, there are article links for most items giving more details.

The PhpDocumentor team hopes to release the final 1.4.0 stable feature release on 7/20. If you have test-driven any of the recent pre-releases for 1.4.0 (alpha1, alpha2, RC1, RC2), please let us know any good/bad feedback you have from that experience.
