<title>PHP 4.3.0RC4 Released</title>
<link>http://qa.php.net/</link>
<description>	Despite our best efforts, it was necessary to make one more release candidate, hence PHP 4.3.0RC4. This one mainly corrects the CGI vs CLI SAPI naming and fixes a couple of bugs. It is supposed to have a short testing cycle, after which the final version will be put out, hopefully before the end of the year.  </description>

If following features are enabled, this script will use them:

compression - Through gzip, we have observed a shift from 3859 bytes to 964 bytes, meaning one Ethernet frame rather than three
cache - Cache is supported through ETag and by setting Content-Length; Also, Cache-Control enables caching for some time, even through HTTPS

If the geographical position of the server has been set through the configuration panel for skins, it is included into the feed as well.

This script is a reference file of this system.
