The PHP development team would like to announce the immediate  
availability of PHP 5.2.8. This release addresses a regression  
introduced by 5.2.7 in regard to the magic_quotes functionality, that  
was broken by an incorrect fix to the filter extension. All users who  
have upgraded to 5.2.7 are encouraged to upgrade to this release,  
alternatively you can apply a work-around for the bug by changing  
"filter.default_flags=0" in php.ini.

For users upgrading from PHP 5.0 and PHP 5.1, an upgrade guide is  
available here (http://www.php.net/migration52), detailing the changes  
between those releases and PHP 5.2.8. For a full list of changes in  
PHP 5.2.8, see the ChangeLog (http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.2.8).
