I have tested 5.3.29 on Windows thoroughly as its the last 5.3 release.

I find no regressions.

All the security and bug fixes didn't break anything from 5.3.28.

Windows users at least, that want to stay with 5.3 can now upgrade to
5.3.29.

See: http://qa.php.net/build.php?branch=PHP_5_3&revision=5.3.29
