- Core:
. Added boolval(). (Jille Timmermans).
+ . Fixed bug #18556 (Engine uses locale rules to handle class names). (Stas)
. Fixed bug #61681 (Malformed grammar). (Nikita Popov, Etienne, Laruence).
. Fixed bug #61038 (unpack("a5", "str\0\0") does not work as expected).
(srgoogleguy, Gustavo)
========================================
- Drop Windows XP and 2003 support. (Pierre)
+- All internal case insensitivity handling for class, fucntion and constant
+ names is done according to ASCII rules, current locale settings are ignored.
========================================
2. New Features
1. Internal API changes
a. Streams pooling API
+ b. Lowercasing and locales
2. Build system changes
a. Unix build system changes
PHPAPI int php_stream_context_del_link(php_stream_context *context,
php_stream *stream);
+ b. Lowercasing and locales
+
+The lowercasing functions in zend_operators.c were split into those that do
+lowercasing according to locale rules and those that do ASCII lowercasing.
+ASCII:
+
+ zend_str_tolower_copy
+ zend_str_tolower_dup
+ zend_str_tolower
+ zend_binary_strcasecmp
+ zend_binary_strncasecmp
+
+Locale-based:
+ zend_binary_strncasecmp_l
+ zend_binary_strcasecmp_l
+ zend_binary_zval_strcasecmp
+ zend_binary_zval_strncasecmp
+ string_compare_function_ex
+ string_case_compare_function
+
+Internal engine lowercasing will be using ASCII-only rules. User-facing functions,
+such as strcasecmp, will be using locale rules.
+
+Two new functions - zend_binary_strncasecmp_l and zend_binary_strcasecmp_l - added as
+locale-based counterparts to zend_binary_strcasecmp and zend_binary_strncasecmp.
