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.
I already updated the dev-php/php, dev-php/php-cgi, and dev-php/mod_php packages in Gentoo Linux accordingly. The PHP 4.4.0 versions of these packages are currently marked ~ARCH for testing and should go stable (at least on x86) soon.
