The PHP 5.5.0 release is out now for CentOS/RHEL 6 on the Webtatic Yum repository. More information can be found at PHP 5.5 for CentOS 6.4 via yum. The packages have been in testing since the PHP 5.5.0alpha2 release.
PHP.net has also announced that PHP 5.3 will only be receiving critical fixes from now on. Webtatic will continue to provide any of these fixes for CentOS 5.

The PHP 5.3 and 5.4 releases address a CVE, CVE-2013-2110.

When the Webtatic EL6 repository was being created, I chose to change the format of the repository so that it would no longer use the same package names as CentOS/RHEL base repositories. This is because the previous Webtatic 5 repository had be installed with enabled=0 to avoid accidental unwanted upgrades, and the new structure meant that Webtatic EL6 could be enabled by default.
This has now been rolled out for CentOS/RHEL 5.x with the new Webtatic EL5.1 repository. The new repository can still be used in conjunction with Webtatic 5 repository.
The Webtatic 5 repository (the older one), will still be maintained, including updates to existing packages, but any new packages will be placed in Webtatic EL5.1
With this change, Webtatic will now support PHP 5.4 packages on CentOS/RHEL 5, using the php54w naming used in Webtatic EL6. Along with this, Nginx 1.2 is also available, along with existing MySQL 5.5 and 5.1 packages.
The guides on the website have been updated to reflect these changes.
Here are updated packages in the Yum repository:
The Nginx 1.2 release contains a security fix for CVE-2013-2070.
The Zend OPcache is Zend's now open-source Zend Optimizer Plus opcode cache, which is a Pecl extension now, and will also be bundled with the next PHP minor release 5.5.
The PHP extension updates are to put the extensions in line for the future release of PHP 5.5 on Webtatic, which is in the works for when it is released on PHP.net
Here are updated packages in the Yum repository:
The PHP 5.3 and 5.4 releases mention no CVE security issues fixed.

Due to mysql55 being prepared for release on Webtatic 6 for RHEL/CentOS 6, the PHP 5.4 releases 5.4.12, 5.4.13 were inadvertently linking the mysql extension to it's latest client library, causing new installations to require/install MySQL 5.5 client library. This has been fixed, and as of this release will correctly link to the RHEL/CentOS base mysql client libraries.
A new package, php54w-mysql55 has been added which uses the MySQL 5.5 client library for compatibility and a replacement for php54w-mysql should you prefer to use MySQL 5.5. A similar package may be created in the future for mysqlnd (PHP MySql native driver).
The mysql55 release 5.3.31 is not yet ready on CentOS 6, due more work needed to resolve incompatibilities between CentOS 6.4 and earlier CentOS 6.* releases.

PHP.net mentions that PHP 5.3 will be entering an end of life cycle March 2013, and after that will only receive critical fixes.
New packages for MySQL 5.5 and Nginx 1.2 are now available in the Webtatic 6 repository. Guides will follow soon.
