Hi,

I'm Beltran, developer in ApacheFriends.org. We are excited to announce that we just released a new stable version of XAMPP that includes PHP 5.4

http://www.apachefriends.org/xampp.html

This version of XAMPP includes the following improvements:

- Updated main components PHP to 5.4.16, MySQL to 5.5.32, Apache to 2.4.4, phpMyAdmin 4.0.4
- Updated Linux and Mac OS X versions of XAMPP, which had not been updated for a while. Moving forward, we aim to keep them up to date and perform releases at the same time as the Windows version.
- Updated the XAMPP Control Panel to 3.2.1 for Windows
- New manager tools for Linux and OS X that allows starting / stopping servers using a GUI interface.
- New GUI installers for Linux and OS X that match the Windows GUI installer.
- Support for 64bit versions of Linux and OS X.
- Expanded the number of BitNami-packaged applications compatible with XAMPP.
It now includes WordPress, Drupal, Joomla!, Magento, Mediawiki, Moodle, SugarCRM, DokuWiki, ownCloud and phpBB. You can download free, one-click
installers at http://bitnami.com/xampp We plan to continue to expand the number of supported apps.
- Added support for Instaclient Oracle library for PHP (oci8.so)

Thanks to all users that tried the previous Beta version and reported issues, specially to hackattack142 for the new version of the Control Panel for Windows. We continue working on a new Beta version that will ship the latest PHP 5.5.

Hi hope it helps!

A note:

The served package for Windows contains the VC10 distribution httpd-2.4.4-win32-ssl_0.9.8 from Apache Lounge, and the name of the package has VC9 in it.

The way the VC10 build is run, is not advised (by Microsoft).

Also it should be more clear that it contains OpenSSL 0.9.x and not 1.0.x.

Thanks Steffen for the notes. We will update the XAMPP docs to clarify that. XAMPP ships VC9 because the version of PHP that we are including but as you mention, the correct name should be VC10.

Regards.
