Omaha PHP Users:

The first public beta of PHP5 was announced this weekend.

Zeev Suraski has an ongoing Q&A about php5 here:
http://www.zend.com/php/ask_experts.php

my $.02 summary:
        php5 to be finalized toward the end of this year
        curl is unbundled
        register_globals is not going away
        project for session handling etc.. http://www.vl-srm.net/
        no threading planned
        no strong typing, instead type hinting
        instead of multiple inheritance, PHP 5 introduces "interfaces"
        to use JNI to instantiate Java objects and access them
                as if they were PHP objects
        Zeev firm on no overloading
