D4PHP Update 1 was recently released and is a free d/l for registered users. The main issues addressed were UTF-8 string handling and PHP 5.2.1 Input Filter problem. Update 2 is underway and will continue to increase quality and performance. Below is a description of fixes included in this update (and Quality Central report numbers if applicable):

• Fix to the IDE to ensure correct storage of UTF-8 strings in the .xml.php
• Fix to VCL for PHP to parse .xml.php in UTF-8 mode
• Save Project As… fixed (QC 43580)
• Updated sourcecode documentation for the VCL
• Fixed problem with PHP 5.2.1 Input Filter. The Input Filter extension is now out of beta and the function for filter data was changed to a new name, so Input object now takes that into account (QC 43607)
• Fixed problem with vcl-bin folder. The alias is set to be a root alias, making it easier to configure on deployment
• Added global var to specify if properties are html_decoded when read from the .xml.php
• Corrected support phone list .txt file
