We've found 5.3 is different enough from 5.2 at work that a number of
customers have needed downgrading again after upgrading. (We're a linux
shop but same theory applies) a particular gotcha was the removal of the
mhash module which is used by plenty of shopping cart code, (its now
emulated by the built in hash stuff, but php configure needs the
--with-mhash flag. And because its emulated it cant be built as a
module.) Test throughly if your thinking of moving to php5.3.
    However as yet various stuff thats in the php5.2.11 port isnt
available or has changed a bit for 5.2.12. for example the Suhosin
hardening patch isnt available for 5.2.12 yet (People taking time off
for the holidays I'd guess ;)
