Hello,
We will be undergoing a general server maintence Sunday, July 17th. This is due to several bug fixes and memory leaks on the current version of PHP.
While we do this maintenance you shall not notice your website down for more than 5 minutes while we reload the PHP loaders.
The recent implemented php eAccelerator will have to be re-installed and compiled for this newer version of PHP, that means we will need to reboot the machine.
Here are the release notes for PHP 4.4, please note that we did not choose to upgrade before the Zen Optimizer upgraded their Loaders for the latest PHP:

Hi All,
You can all get the latest version of Zend Optimizer 2.5.10a which supports php 4.4 at http://downloads.zend.com/optimizer/2.5.10a/ - soon enough we will also have the web site updated with the new version.
If you're platform is missing, you can contact support@zend.com (That is if there was ever a build for your platform).

[11-Jul-2005] The PHP Development Team would like to announce the immediate release of PHP 4.4.0. This is a maintenance release that addresses a serious memory corruption problem within PHP concerning references. If references were used in a wrong way, PHP would often create memory corruptions which would not always surface and be visible. The increased middle digit was required because the fix that corrected the problem with references changed PHP's internal API. PHP 4.4.0 does not have any new features, and is solely a bugfix release.
