According to news (2008-10-09) from group php.internals, PHP 5.2.7 should have a final release out in the next 2-3 weeks:
The first release candidate of 5.2.7 was just released for testing and can be downloaded here:
http://downloads.php.net/ilia/php-5.2.7RC1.tar.bz2 (md5sum: be7544212fe4a3ede775a3793ecd3967)
The Windows binaries should become available shortly as well, for now you can grab the win32 snapshots from snaps.php.net. This release has been long in coming, so the NEWS file looks quite impressive with an extensive number of bug fixes. I do not believe any of the fixes are bound to introduce any regression and the hope is to have a final release out in the next 2-3 weeks. To make this possible, please test this RC against your code base and report any problems that you encounter.

PHP 5.2 Release Master
Since the PDO PostgreSQL BLOB issues is now get fixed in CVS of both PHP 5.2.x and 5.3.x (read more), it should come with official release soon. Thanks god that as Drupal 7.x is now binding with PDO only, the PostgreSQL support status is now hopefully safe.
P.S. As I am now working with Drupal 7.x + Oracle, pdo_oci may also come with some hidden issue, too. I should speed that up in order to get it done :D
