As the title says, PHP 4.4.2 and PHP 5.1.2 were just added to Portage, enjoy!
During the last week dev-php/PEAR-PEAR was also updated to 1.4.8 which should hopefully fix all the problems you may have been experiencing with access violations etc. when installing some PEAR packages.
You can also find PHP 5.1.3RC1 in the PHP Overlay now for testing, enjoy that too.

PHP is still going strong, you now can find PHP 5.1.2 and PHP 4.4.2 in the PHP Overlay, and the eclasses/ebuilds have seen a lot of work, they are now simpler to use and all that, and all PHP patches were moved to tarballs (which will allow you to save some bandwidth on emerge --sync's ;) ).
Work has also started to solve bug 120088, we've got an idea and finally the time to try it out, it should work and satisfy all parties involved, but will require some good planning when the changes are introduced, more details on this as soon as I have working code to show people (just follow the Overlay's progress, should appear there in the experimental/ branch as soon as ready).
