78      <p>The PHP web team are delighted to announce the launch of the new web theme that has been
79      in beta for many months. Lots of hard work has gone into this release and we will be continually
80      improving things over time now that we have migrated away from the legacy theme.</p>
81
82      <p>From an aesthetics point of view the general color scheme of the website has been lightened from the
83      older dark purple. Lots of borders and links use a similar purple color to attain
84      consistency. Fonts are smoother, and colors, contrast and highlighting have significantly improved; especially
85      on function reference pages. Code examples should now be much more readable.</p>
86
87      <p>The theme is marked up using HTML5 and is generally much more modern. We are using Google Fonts and
88      Bootstrap for our theme base.</p>
89
90      <p>To provide valuable feedback, you can use the 'Feedback' widget on the side of the page (not visible

141    <div>
142      <p>We are continuing to work through the repercussions of the php.net malware issue described in a news post earlier today. As part of this, the php.net systems team have audited every server operated by php.net, and have found that two servers were compromised: the server which hosted the www.php.net, static.php.net and git.php.net domains, and was previously suspected based on the JavaScript malware, and the server hosting bugs.php.net. The method by which these servers were compromised is unknown at this time.</p>
143
144      <p>All affected services have been migrated off those servers. We have verified that our Git repository was not compromised, and it remains in read only mode as services are brought back up in full.</p>
145
146      <p>As it's possible that the attackers may have accessed the private key of the php.net SSL certificate, we have revoked it immediately. We are in the process of getting a new certificate, and expect to restore access to php.net sites that require SSL (including bugs.php.net and wiki.php.net) in the next few hours.</p>
147
148      <p>To summarise, the situation right now is that:</p>
149
150      <ul>
151        <li>JavaScript malware was served to a small percentage of php.net users from the 22nd to the 24th of October 2013.</li>
152        <li>Neither the source tarball downloads nor the Git repository were modified or compromised.</li>
153        <li>Two php.net servers were compromised, and have been removed from service. All services have been migrated to new, secure servers.</li>
154        <li>SSL access to php.net Web sites is temporarily unavailable until a new SSL certificate is issued and installed on the servers that need it.</li>
155      </ul>
156
157      <p>Over the next few days, we will be taking further action:</p>
158
159      <ul>
160        <li>php.net users will have their passwords reset. Note that users of PHP are unaffected by this: this is solely for people committing code to projects hosted on svn.php.net or git.php.net.</li>
161      </ul>
162
163      <p>We will provide a full post mortem in due course, most likely next week. You can also get updates from the official php.net Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/official_php">@official_php</a>.</p>

174      <p>
175      On 24 Oct 2013 06:15:39 +0000 Google started saying www.php.net was hosting
176      malware. The Google Webmaster Tools were initially quite delayed in showing
177      the reason why and when they did it looked a lot like a false positive
178      because we had some minified/obfuscated javascript being dynamically
179      injected into userprefs.js. This looked suspicious to us as well, but
180      it was actually written to do exactly that so we were quite certain it
181      was a false positive, but we kept digging.
182      </p>
183
184      <p>
185      It turned out that by combing through the access logs for static.php.net
186      it was periodically serving up userprefs.js with the wrong content length
187      and then reverting back to the right size after a few minutes. This is due
188      to an rsync cron job. So the file was being modified locally and reverted.
189      Google's crawler caught one of these small windows where the wrong file
190      was being served, but of course, when we looked at it manually it looked
191      fine. So more confusion.
192      </p>
193
194      <p>
195      We are still investigating how someone caused that file to be changed,
196      but in the meantime we have migrated www/static to new clean servers.
197      The highest priority is obviously the source code integrity and after
198      a quick:
199      </p>
200
201      <blockquote>git fsck --no-reflog --full --strict</blockquote>
202
203      <p>
204      on all our repos plus manually checking the md5sums of the PHP distribution
205      files we see no evidence that the PHP code has been compromised. We have
206      a mirror of our git repos on github.com and we will manually check git
207      commits as well and have a full post-mortem on the intrusion when we have
208      a clearer picture of what happened.

374      <a href="http://codeconnexx.com/">CodeConnexx</a> is a two-day, one track conference that aims to bring together everyone interested in talking about code.
375      </p>
376      <p>
377      As we know, choosing a career as a coder comes with its own set of life
378      challenges, and we want to talk about those too. In short, this conference is a
379      different kind of conference, as it connects those two pieces of the puzzle
380      together in one event.
381      </p>
382
383      <p>
384      Every technical talk will be followed by a talk about life skills and work/life
385      balance. There will also be plenty of social opportunities to get to know the
386      other attendees. Not only do we want to help you bridge the gap between work
387      and life, we want to help you connect with each other as well.
388      </p>
389
390      <p>
391      CodeConnexx, hosted by <a href="http://phpwomen.org/">PHPWomen</a>, will
392      take <a href="http://codeconnexx.com/location/">place</a> in Maastricht,

957      8, plus a pre-conference tutorial day on June 6. Both programs will be
958      completely in English so the only Dutch thing about it is the location.
959      </p>
960
961      <p>
962      This year we have 30+ speakers gathering in Amsterdam. The 3-track main
963      conference covers topics like PHP 5.5, software design, APIs, Zend Framework 2,
964      Symfony 2, security, scalability and more. Our Tutorial Day has an additional
965      16 in-depth sessions to choose from.
966      </p>
967
968      <p>
969      Your DPC ticket also lets you into the Dutch Mobile Conference: an additional
970      two tracks about cutting edge javascript and non-native application
971      development. This year features several side events: a bigger and better
972      unconference, a Zend sponsored hackathon, a social in downtown Amsterdam, and a
973      Symfony2 certification exam.
974      </p>

991      <a href="http://www.phpsouthafrica.com/">PHPSouthAfrica</a> is a 2
992      day conference (October 4th &amp; 5th) to be hosted in the most
993      beautiful city in the world, Cape Town South Africa.  It is aimed
994      at proficient developers, new developers and people who care about
995      developers.
996      </p>
997      <p>
998      PHP is one of the most popular web programming languages used today
999      to power most websites. As the language continues to grow stronger,
1000      PHP has now been linked with mobile powered applications. We are
1001      noticing a migration from mobile language applications to web based
1002      technologies (JavaScript, HTML5,CSS).
1003      </p>
1004      <p>
1005      PHPSouthAfrica has been a long time coming. With the increased
1006      demand for PHP programmers, not only locally but also
1007      internationally, our vision is to marry the latest technologies
1008      with international speakers. We are creating a conference that
1009      will hone established developers, but also assist up and coming
1010      programmers develop and learn new skills.With the conference
1011      based in Cape Town, it gives us the opportunity to showcase
1012      “The Mother City,” voted one of the top 10 places to visit and
1013      home of Table Mountain- one of the New7Wonders of Nature.
1014      </p>
1015      <p>Come and experience our great wine, food, beaches and people.</p>
1016      <p>We would like to welcome you.</p>

1323      Alpha5 is the last alpha for PHP 5.5. There has been a delay in alpha releases due to late coming new features.
1324      We are now beginning the betas, and the first beta
1325      is expected for March 7th. Betas won't add any new features, except the first one, but consolidate the source
1326      code and fix found bugs.
