Changes in Current Version: * This version finalizes the separate command line interface (CLI) that can be used for developing shell and desktop applications * A very important "under the hood" feature is the streams API * This iteration of the build system, among other things, replaces the slow recursive make with one global Makefile and eases the integration of proper dependencies * GD library is now bundled with the distribution and it is recommended to always use the bundled version * Vpopmail and cybermut extensions are moved to PECL * Several deprecated extensions (aspell, ccvs, cybercash, icap) and SAPIs (fastcgi, fhttpd) are removed * Various security fixes (imap, mysql, mcrypt, file upload, gd, etc) * Apache2 filter is improved, but is still considered experimental * Significant improvements in dba, gd, pcntl, sybase, and xslt extensions * Zend Engine has some fixes and minor performance enhancements http://www.php.net |
