In August 1995, Croat forces committed the greatest single act of ethnic cleansing in the Yugoslav civil wars that began with the unilateral declarations of secession by Slovenia and Croatia from Yugoslavia in 1991. By eradicating the Serbian population of Krajina, the Croats have erased its very existence. With only a few thousand elderly Serb remaining, Krajina’s emptiness, its burnt homes and numerous graves are today a witness of human tragedy. The Serbs from Eastern Slavonia also departed when UN ceded the administration of this province to the Croatian government in January 1998. They joined the sad refugee destiny of a significant majority of Serbs that for centuries inhabited a region today recognized as a state of Croatia. The newly-elected Croatian government has promised to change the refugee return policy and improve the rights of Serbs in Croatia, and the implementation of their democratic promises will be closely monitored.

What is the Zend Optimizer?

The Zend Optimizer is one of the most popular PHP plugins for performance-improvement, and has been available without charge, since the early days of PHP 4. It improves performance by scanning PHP's intermediate code and passing it through multiple Optimization Passes to replace inefficient code patterns with more efficient code blocks. The replaced code blocks perform exactly the same operations as the original code, only faster.

In addition to improving performance, the Zend Optimizer also enables PHP to transparently load files encoded by the Zend Guard.

The Zend Optimizer is a free product available for download from Zend Technologies. Zend Technologies also developed the PHP scripting engine, known as the Zend Engine.
