UPGRADE NOTES - PHP X.Y
1. Internal API changes
a. Streams pooling API
b. Lowercasing and locales
2. Build system changes
a. Unix build system changes
b. Windows build system changes
========================
1. Internal API changes
========================
a. Streams pooling API
The streams pooling API has been removed. The following functions no longer
exist:
PHPAPI int php_stream_context_get_link(php_stream_context *context,
const char *hostent, php_stream **stream);
PHPAPI int php_stream_context_set_link(php_stream_context *context,
const char *hostent, php_stream *stream);
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.
========================
2. Build system changes

b. Windows build system changes
