PHP 5.3.9 released! (Really good news)
Well, I have noticed today
DotDeb already updated their packages, for the people that uses it (I started recently).
Remember to reinstall php5-suhosin, it seems that the new version uninstalls it.
Also, in regards of this:

Is fixed with the new release.
And for the PHP5-FPM fans, they have released the new "ondemand" scheduling, which allows to specify the max number of children and a timeout to kill them if you don't need that children anymore. That won't let you spare childrens when your server is idling 
IMHO is very very much better than the dynamic scheduler.
So, have fun. I am having it
PS:I was about to apply the ondemand patch today in the 5.3.8 trunk But now we have the 5.3.9 stable!

Some new testing on my to-do list :-)
apt-get dist-upgrade, then re-install suhosin.
(For those who might run into a head-scratcher).
CHILD MURDERER.

LOL!
Just installed on my Ubuntu
It just worked =D
I'll install this from Homebrew later or compile it from source.
I liked that PHP-FPM didn't have a max on the amount of children you could spawn and use
pm.max_children ? It's still there.
Just upgraded my dev box using dotdeb. Nothing to it, everything just works.
The new www.conf config file came configured same as previous versions -- using the 'dynamic' process model. Needed to edit it to enable the new 'ondemand' model.
What's the overhead I wonder for spinning up and killing off php-fpm processes?
Indeed, that is necessary for the new ondemand.
Maybe the only slowdown will be at the first petition, when the process is created.
I've just updated via apt-get and I didn't have to reinstall php5-suhosin.
I've just used apt-get install php5-suhosin which updated all the php5 packages.
php5-suhosin was already installed.
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
Works for me...
I recommend this subreddit to all of you: reddit.com/r/lolphp
Dotdeb seems to have fixed the issue with the php5-suhosin weirdness.
I installed 5.3.9-1~dotdeb.1 when I saw this thread, then a while later I got an email from cron-apt on one of my VPSes that 5.3.9-1~dotdeb.2 was available, and when I just did an
apt-get update && apt-get upgradeit installed 5.3.9-1~dotdeb.3. That's probably why different people saw different results.Yep, I got the updates, no suhosin uninstalling. Maybe was just that change? :P
I have few low traffic WordPress website, should I install php5-suhosin or not? :-s Because when I installed PHP 5.3.9 via dotdeb repo, 1 of my VPS got php5-suhosin installed, the others didn't.
Suhosin is a security patch, that's all. Read more about it.
I ran apt-get update; apt-get upgrade and suhosin were automatic installed
