+?? ??? 20??, PHP 5.7.0
<<< NOTE: Insert NEWS from last stable release here prior to actual release! >>>
1. Backward Incompatible Changes
========================================
-- Core:
- Removed $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA global variable. Restore backwards compatibility
- by:
- <?php
- global $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA;
- if (!isset($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA)) {
- $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = file_get_contents("php://input");
- }
- ?>
========================================
2. New Features
========================================
-- Added dedicated syntax for variadic functions.
- (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/variadics)
-
-- The php://input stream is now re-usable and can be used concurrently with
- enable_post_data_reading=0.
-
-- Added gost-crypto (CryptoPro S-box) hash algo.
-
-- Added openssl certificate fingerprint support (inclusive stream context
- option).
-
-- Added openssl crypto method stream context option.
========================================
2. Changes in SAPI modules
3. Deprecated Functionality
========================================
-- Incompatible context calls:
- Instance calls from an incompatible context are now deprecated and issue
- E_DEPRECATED instead of E_STRICT. See https://wiki.php.net/rfc/incompat_ctx
========================================
4. Changed Functions
========================================
-- cURL:
- CURLOPT_SAFE_UPLOAD is now turned on by default and uploads with @file
- do not work unless it is explicitly set to false.
-
-- Crypt:
- crypt() will now raise an E_NOTICE error if the salt parameter is omitted.
- See: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/crypt_function_salt
-
-- XMLReader:
- XMLReader::getAttributeNs and XMLReader::getAttributeNo now return NULL if
- the attribute could not be found, just like XMLReader::getAttribute.
========================================
5. New Functions
========================================
-- Openssl:
- Added string openssl_x509_fingerprint($x509, $type, $binary).

========================================
6. New Classes and Interfaces
8. Other Changes to Extensions
========================================
-- GMP:
- The GMP extension now uses objects as the underlying data structure, rather
- than resources. GMP instances now support dumping, serialization, cloning,
- casts to primitive types and have overloaded operators.
- (RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/operator_overloading_gmp)
-
-- OCI8:
- - Added Implicit Result Set support for Oracle Database 12c with a
- new oci_get_implicit_resultset() function.
- - Using 'oci_execute($s, OCI_NO_AUTO_COMMIT)' for a SELECT no longer
- unnecessarily initiates an internal ROLLBACK during connection
- close.
- - Added DTrace probes enabled with PHP's generic --enable-dtrace
- - The oci_internal_debug() function is now a no-op.
- - The phpinfo() output format for OCI8 has changed.
========================================
9. New Global Constants
========================================
-- LDAP:
- LDAP_ESCAPE_FILTER int(1)
- LDAP_ESCAPE_DN int(2)
========================================
10. Changes to INI File Handling
========================================
-- Core:
- Removed always_populate_raw_post_data.
========================================
11. Other Changes
========================================
-- File upload:
- Uploads equal or greater than 2GB in size are now accepted.
-
-- HTTP stream wrapper:
- HTTP 1.1 requests now include a Connection: close header unless explicitly
- overridden by setting a Connection header via the header context option.
-
-- Zip:
- New --with-libzip option allow to use system libzip. Version > 0.11 required.
1. Internal API changes
========================
- a. Addition of do_operation and compare object handlers
-
- Two new object handlers have been added:
-
- do_operation:
- typedef int (*zend_object_do_operation_t)(
- zend_uchar opcode, zval *result, zval *op1, zval *op2 TSRMLS_DC
- );
-
- compare:
- typedef int (*zend_object_compare_zvals_t)(
- zval *result, zval *op1, zval *op2 TSRMLS_DC
- );
-
- The first handler is used to overload arithmetic operations. The first
- argument specifies the opcode of the operator, result is the target zval,
- op1 the first operand and op2 the second operand. For unary operations
- op2 is NULL. If the handler returns FAILURE PHP falls back to the default
- behavior for the operation.
-
- The second handler is used to perform comparison operations with
- non-objects. The value written into result must be an IS_LONG with value
- -1 (smaller), 0 (equal) or 1 (greater). The return value is a SUCCESS/FAILURE
- return code. The difference between this handler and compare_objects is
- that it will be triggered for comparisons with non-objects and objects of
- different types. It takes precedence over compare_objects.
-
- Further docs in the RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/operator_overloading_gmp
-
- b. return_value_ptr now always available, RETVAL_ZVAL_FAST macros
-
- The return_value_ptr argument to internal functions is now always set.
- Previously it was only available for functions returning by-reference.
- return_value_ptr can now be used to return zvals without copying them.
- For this purpose two new macros are provided:
-
- RETVAL_ZVAL_FAST(zv); /* analog to RETVAL_ZVAL(zv, 1, 0) */
- RETURN_ZVAL_FAST(zv); /* analog to RETURN_ZVAL(zv, 1, 0) */
-
- The macros behave similarly to the non-FAST variants with copy=1 and
- dtor=0, but will try to return the zval without making a copy by utilizing
- return_value_ptr.
-
- c. POST data handling
-
- The sapi_request_info's members post_data, post_data_len and raw_post_data as
- well as raw_post_data_len have been replaced with a temp PHP stream
- request_body.
-
- The recommended way to access raw POST data is to open and use a php://input
- stream wrapper. It is safe to be used concurrently and more than once.
-
- d. Arginfo changes
-
- The pass_rest_by_reference argument of the ZEND_BEGIN_ARG_INFO and
- ZEND_BEGIN_ARG_INFO_EX() is no longer used. The value passed to it is ignored.
-
- Instead a variadic argument is created using ZEND_ARG_VARIADIC_INFO():
-
- ZEND_ARG_VARIADIC_INFO(0, name) /* pass rest by value */
- ZEND_ARG_VARIADIC_INFO(1, name) /* pass rest by reference */
- ZEND_ARG_VARIADIC_INFO(ZEND_SEND_PREFER_REF, name)
- /* pass rest by prefer-ref */
-
- ZEND_ARG_VARIADIC_INFO() should only be used for the last argument.
-
- The following changes were applied to the zend_arg_info struct:
-
- typedef struct _zend_arg_info {
- const char *class_name;
- zend_uint class_name_len;
- zend_uchar type_hint;
- + zend_uchar pass_by_reference;
- zend_bool allow_null;
- - zend_bool pass_by_reference;
- + zend_bool is_variadic;
- } zend_arg_info;
-
- The following changes were applied to the zend_internal_function_info struct:
-
- typedef struct _zend_internal_function_info {
- zend_uint required_num_args;
- zend_uchar _type_hint;
- zend_bool return_reference;
- - zend_bool pass_rest_by_reference;
- + zend_bool _allow_null;
- + zend_bool _is_variadic;
- } zend_internal_function_info;
-
- The CHECK_ARG_SEND_TYPE(), ARG_MUST_BE_SENT_BY_REF(),
- ARG_SHOULD_BE_SENT_BY_REF() and ARG_MAY_BE_SENT_BY_REF() macros now assume
- that the argument passed to them is a zend_function* and that it is non-NULL.
========================
2. Build system changes
========================
- a. Unix build system changes
- - The bison version check is now a blacklist instead of a whitelist.
- - The bison binary can be specified through the YACC environment/configure
- variable. Previously `bison` was assumed to be in $PATH.
-
- b. Windows build system changes
