The key features of PHP 5.3.0 include:
Support for namespaces Late static binding Lambda Functions and Closures
Syntax additions: NOWDOC, ternary short cut "?:" and jump label (limited goto), __callStatic() Under the hood performance improvements Optional garbage collection for cyclic references
More consistent float rounding...
Deprecation notices are now handled via E_DEPRECATED (part of E_ALL) instead of the E_STRICT error level
Several enhancements to enable more flexiblity in php.ini (and ini parsing in general)

a huge win. I'm definitely in favor of bumping the minimum PHP version to 5.3.x.
