I am now getting back to update the solution manual, irregularly though :). Please feel free to contact me at zqgao@fudan.edu.cn or zhengqi@mit.edu (transition period). More detaild info can be found on my homepage.
I have finished Chapter1-Chapter11, and all solutions have already been uploaded online.
Several things need to be emphasized here: (1) I wrote this solution manual purely out of admiration of PRML, and I have no will to publish this solutiona manual, (2)It is only meant to be used as personal study reference, please donnot take it for other purposes, e.g., upload to other websites or publication. (3) If it is illegal (infringing the copyright), please contact me and I will withdraw this solution maunal immediately. (4) There is actually an official solution manual published by Springer. You can find it here.
This is a solution manual for the famous book Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning. I will keep update the solutions as my learning process goes on.
There are some problems that I am not sure, which have been marked by "Waiting for update" in the solution manual. If you want to provide a solution for these unsolving problems, have any question, or come up with better ideas about any problem in the manual, please feel free to contact me.

Hooray! Currently, I have finished all the solutions before Chapter 7(included). However, the update process may be suspended lately because of the heavy workload of my lab projects.

Hooray! Currently, I have (partly) finished chapter 8. Starting from section 8.4.4, I have found that many equations in the book are quite different from what I derive. Therefore, the corresponding exercises (8.19-8.29) are left behind.
