========================================
1. Backward Incompatible Changes
========================================
Core:
. The ext_skel utility has been completely redesigned with new options and
some old options removed. This is now written in PHP and has no external
dependencies.
. Support for BeOS has been dropped.
BCMath:
. All warnings thrown by BCMath functions are now using PHP's error handling.
Formerly some warnings have directly been written to stderr.
. bcmul() and bcpow() now return numbers with the requested scale. Formerly,
the returned numbers may have omitted trailing decimal zeroes.
Standard:
. getimagesize() and related functions now report the mime type of BMP images
as image/bmp instead of image/x-ms-bmp, since the former has been registered
with the IANA (see RFC 7903).
========================================
2. New Features
========================================
BCMath:
. bcscale() can now also be used as getter to retrieve the current scale in use.
========================================
3. Changes in SAPI modules
========================================
========================================
4. Deprecated Functionality
========================================
========================================
5. Changed Functions
========================================
JSON:
. A new flag has been added, JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR, which can be used with
json_decode() or json_encode() and causes these functions to throw a
JsonException upon an error, instead of setting the global error state that
is retrieved with json_last_error(). JSON_PARTIAL_OUTPUT_ON_ERROR takes
precedence over JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR.
(RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/json_throw_on_error)
Standard:
. debug_zval_dump() was changed to display recursive arrays and objects
in the same way as var_dump(). Now, it doesn't display them twice.
========================================
6. New Functions
========================================
Date:
. Added the DateTime::createFromImmutable() method, which mirrors
DateTimeImmutable::createFromMutable().
Intl:
. Added void Spoofchecker::setRestrictionLevel(int $level) method, available
when linked with ICU >= 58.1. Levels are represented as class constants
- Spoofchecker::ASCII
- Spoofchecker::HIGHLY_RESTRICTIVE
- Spoofchecker::MODERATELY_RESTRICTIVE
- Spoofchecker::MINIMALLY_RESTRICTIVE
- Spoofchecker::UNRESTRICTIVE
- Spoofchecker::SINGLE_SCRIPT_RESTRICTIVE
For the detailed documentation on the restriction levels, see
URestrictionLevel under
http://icu-project.org/apiref/icu4c/uspoof_8h.html
SPL:
. Added spl_object_id().
========================================
7. New Classes and Interfaces

8. Removed Extensions and SAPIs
