We're proud to announce two new XAMPP versions for Windows and Linux today. In both versions we updated Apache to 2.2.14, MySQL to 5.1.41, PHP to 5.3.1, Perl to 5.10.1, phpMyAdmin to 3.2.4, and OpenSSL to 0.9.8l. An updated version for Mac OS X will follow soon, but currently the Apache refuses to perform his Xmas duty on a Mac.

[Oswald - August, 20th 2009] New XAMPP 1.7.2 for Windows, Mac OS X, and LinuxI'm proud to announce two big news today: First, the new XAMPP with PHP 5.3.0 is finally released and allows everyone the experience of this new PHP version, and secondly, congratulations and many thanks to Carsten Wiedmann, who took over the responsibility for the Windows version. Carsten was able to simplify the Windows version by replacing the installer by a self-extracting archive without losing the ease-of-use of XAMPP.
In all versions we updated Apache (2.2.12), MySQL (5.1.37), PHP (5.3.0), phpMyAdmin (3.2.0.1), plus minor updates of some libraries and tools.

[Oswald - May, 4th 2009] New XAMPP version for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS XLife is no Ponyhof (a modern German saying): With an unusually long and arduous 8-week beta phase, we have finally managed to release and announce a new "final" XAMPP version.
In this version of XAMPP we mainly updated: MySQL (5.1.33), PHP (5.2.9), and phpMyAdmin (3.1.3.1). The Linux and Mac OS X versions also contain updated versions of ProFTPD (1.3.2) and the Windows version updated FileZilla FTP Server to 0.9.31. And finally for all the early adopters we added current versions of the MySQL storage engines PBXT and PBMS to the Linux version of XAMPP.
As of today the Mac OS X version ends it beta status and enters the regular XAMPP release cycle. Thanks to Christian 'kleinweby' Speich for this great achievement and his work of the last months.
The downloads and more accurate details about the new versions are available at the respective XAMPP project page.
[Oswald - April, 15th 2009] New XAMPP for Windows and LinuxJust in time for Christmas: After the usual 2-week beta test phase, we can now announce the new "final" XAMPP version for public downloading.
In both versions we updated Apache (2.2.11), MySQL (5.1.30), PHP (5.2.8) and phpMyAdmin (3.1.1). The Linux version also contains the new MySQL storage engine PBXT (1.0.07-rc).
With this version our support of PHP 4 ends and from this version on PHP 4 is no longer shipped with XAMPP. After PHP 4 was officially no longer supported since the end of 2007 this was just a matter of time.
On the other hand XAMPP now supports the brand-new MySQL 5.1 database generation. If you're upgrading from MySQL 5.0 please take a look at MySQL's official Upgrading from 5.0 to 5.1 and Monty's critical "Oops, we did it again".
Updated versions for Mac OS X and Solaris will follow shortly.
Get the downloads and more details on the specific platforms XAMPP project page.
Oh, and yes: Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2009! :)
