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:
http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/22447#Comment_22447
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
