Karin Kunkel, Sonja Uhl, Constanze Weiland [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.

Oh, and yes: Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2009! :)
