========================================
1. Backward Incompatible Changes
========================================
- Dropped Windows XP and 2003 support. (Pierre)
- All internal case insensitivity handling for class, function and constant
names is done according to ASCII rules. Current locale settings are ignored.
- self, parent & static keywords now are always case-insensitive (see bug
#60833).
- Removed Logo GUIDs: php_logo_guid(), php_egg_logo_guid(),
php_real_logo_guid() and zend_logo_guid()
========================================
2. New Features
========================================
- Support list in foreach. (Laruence)
(http://php.net/foreach#control-structures.foreach.list,
http://wiki.php.net/rfc/foreachlist)
- Support "finally" keyword. (Laruence)
(http://php.net/exceptions, http://wiki.php.net/rfc/finally)
- Support constant array/string dereferencing. (Laruence)
(http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php,
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/constdereference)
- Add support for using empty() on the result of function calls and
other expressions. Thus it is now possible to write empty(getArray()),
for example. (http://php.net/manual/en/function.empty.php,
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/empty_isset_exprs)
- Added generators.
(http://php.net/generators, https://wiki.php.net/rfc/generators)
- ClassName::class syntax returning full class name for a class as a
string constant. (http://php.net/oop5.basic,
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/class_name_scalars)
- Added support for non-scalar Iterator keys in foreach.
(http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php,
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/foreach-non-scalar-keys).
- Bundled Zend OPcache extension to improve performance
(http://php.net/manual/en/book.opcache.php,
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/optimizerplus)
- Added a simplified password hashing API
(http://php.net/password, https://wiki.php.net/rfc/password_hash)
========================================
2. Changes in SAPI modules
========================================
- Support for changing the process's title in CLI/CLI-Server
SAPIs. (Keyur)
(http://php.net/manual/en/function.cli-set-process-title.php,
http://php.net/manual/en/function.cli-get-process-title.php,
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/cli_process_title)
- Support for systemd in php-fpm: Add --with-fpm-systemd option to
report health to systemd, and add systemd_interval option to
configure this. The service can now use Type=notify in the systemd
unit file. (Remi)
========================================
3. Deprecated Functionality
========================================
- The original MySQL extension is now deprecated and will generate
deprecation warnings when connecting to a database through
mysql_connect(), mysql_pconnect() or by establishing an implicit
connection. Use MySQLi or PDO instead.
- The preg_replace /e modifier is now deprecated. Use
preg_replace_callback instead.
(https://wiki.php.net/rfc/remove_preg_replace_eval_modifier)
- IntlDateFormatter::setTimeZoneID() and datefmt_set_timezone_id() are
deprecated. Use IntlDateFormatter::setTimeZone() or
datefmt_set_timezone() instead.
- mcrypt_ecb(), mcrypt_cbc(), mcrypt_cfb() and mcrypt_ofb() now throw
E_DEPRECATED. Their use was already previously discouraged in the
documentation, but that predated the existence of E_DEPRECATED.
========================================
4. Changed Functions
========================================
- pack()/unpack() had the following changes, which bring it more in
line with Perl's behavior: - Implemented format character "Z": NULL
padded string, with trailing NULL bytes removed. - Changed format
character "a": this no longer removes trailing NULL bytes. -
Changed format character "A": all trailing ASCII whitespace is now
removed (defined as spaces, tabs, \r, \n and NULL).
- MessageFormatter::format() and related functions now accepted named
arguments and mixed numeric/named arguments in ICU 4.8+.
- MessageFormatter::format() and related functions now don't error out
when an insufficient argument count is provided. Instead, the
placeholders will remain unsubstituted.
- MessageFormatter::parse() and MessageFormat::format() (and their
static equivalents) now don't throw away better than second
precision in the arguments.
- IntlDateFormatter::__construct and datefmt_create() now accept for
the $timezone argument time zone identifiers, IntlTimeZone objects,
DateTimeZone objects and NULL. It used to accept only time zone
identifiers and NULL. Invalid time zone identifiers are no longer
accepted. Empty strings are no longer accepted.
- The default time zone used in IntlDateFormatter::__construct and
datefmt_create() (when the corresponding argument is not passed or
NULL is passed) is now the one given by date_default_timezone_get(),
not the default ICU time zone.
- The time zone passed to the IntlDateFormatter is ignored if it is
NULL and if the calendar passed is an IntlCalendar object -- in this
case, the IntlCalendar's time zone will be used instead. Otherwise,
the time zone specified in the $timezone argument is used
instead. This does not affect old code, as IntlCalendar was
introduced in this version.
- IntlDateFormatter::__construct and datefmt_create() now accept for
the $calendar argument also IntlCalendar objects.
- IntlDateFormatter::getCalendar() and datefmt_get_calendar() return
false if the IntlDateFormatter was set up with an IntlCalendar
instead of the constants
IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN/TRADITIONAL. IntlCalendar did not exist
before this version.
- IntlDateFormatter::setCalendar() and datefmt_set_calendar() now also
accept an IntlCalendar object, in which case its time zone is
taken. Passing a constant is still allowed, and still keeps the time
zone.
- IntlDateFormatter::format() and datefmt_format() now also accept an
IntlCalendar object for formatting.
- set_error_handler(NULL) can now be used to reset the error handler.
Furthermore both set_error_handler(NULL) and
set_exception_handler(NULL) will now return the previously defined
error/exception handler. Previously bool(true) was returned.
- setcookie(), setrawcookie() and ext/session now send Max-Age headers
alongside Expires headers. (see
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/cookie_max-age)
- curl_setopt now accepts new option CURLOPT_SAFE_UPLOAD and CURLFile
object for safer file uploads (see
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/curl-file-upload)
- Functions in the socket extension now do not emit warnings when the
errno is EAGAIN, EWOULDBLOCK or EINPROGRESS.
- Since 5.5.2, spl_autoload_functions() returns different names for
different lambda functions registered via spl_autoload_register().
- Since 5.5.3, DOMDocument::schemaValidateSource() and
DOMDocument::schemaValidate() accept flag parameter. Only flag
available now is LIBXML_SCHEMA_CREATE. Default is 0.
- Since 5.5.4, fputcsv() has fifth parameter escape_char, allowing to
specify escape char.

========================================
10. Changes to INI File Handling
========================================
- Core:
- Added sys_temp_dir INI directive, for specifying temporary
directory.
- Intl:
- Added intl.use_exceptions INI directive, which controls what
happens when global errors are set together with intl.error_level.
- MSSQL:
- mssql.compatability_mode renamed to mssql.compatibility_mode in 5.5.2,
old directive still supported for BC reasons.
- mysqlnd:
- Added mysqlnd.sha256_server_public_key INI PERDIR setting that
affects all APIs which use(are built) for mysqlnd. This allows
ext/mysqli to be used with the new auth protocol, although at
coarser level.
- Sessions:
- Added session.use_strict_mode in 5.5.3, which prevents session
fixation attacks and session collisions.
See also https://wiki.php.net/rfc/strict_sessions
- Zend OPcache (See http://php.net/manual/en/book.opcache.php)
- Added the following directives:
- opcache.enable (default "1")
- opcache.memory_consumption (default "64")
- opcache.interned_strings_buffer (default "4")
- opcache.max_accelerated_files (default "2000")
- opcache.max_wasted_percentage (default "5")
- opcache.use_cwd (default "1")
- opcache.validate_timestamps (default "1")
- opcache.revalidate_freq (default "2")
- opcache.revalidate_path (default "0")
- opcache.save_comments (default "1")
- opcache.load_comments (default "1")

- opcache.blacklist_filename (default "")
- opcache.max_file_size (default "0")
- opcache.consistency_checks (default "0")
- opcache.force_restart_timeout (default "180")
- opcache.error_log (default "" which means stderr)
- opcache.log_verbosity_level (default "1")
- opcache.preferred_memory_model (default "")
- opcache.protect_memory (default "0")
- opcache.mmap_base (Windows-only)
========================================
11. Windows Support
========================================
- The Apache 2.4 handler is supported as of PHP 5.5.0
- OPcache: Errors like 'unable to reattach to base address' could
happen in many common setups. It is due to some technical and
design restriction in the engine and could not be fixed easily
before 5.5.0 was released.
A possible fix is to tweak the opcache.mmap_base INI setting by
forcing the first address to be tried.
For x86 version, the following addreses can be tried:
. 0x20000000, 0x21000000, 0x30000000, 0x31000000, 0x50000000
and for x64 (still experimental):
. 0x0000100000000000, 0x0000200000000000, 0x0000300000000000, 0x0000700000000000
========================================
12. Other Changes
