Backward Incompatible Changes ======================================== -- JSON: - json_decode() no longer accepts non-lowercase variants of lone JSON true, - false or null values. For example, True or FALSE will now cause json_decode to - return NULL and set an error value you can fetch with json_last_error(). - This affects JSON texts consisting solely of true, false or null. Text - containing non-lowercase values inside JSON arrays or objects has never been - accepted. - -- openssl: - To prevent Man-in-the-Middle attacks against encrypted transfers client - streams now verify peer certificates by default. Previous versions - required users to manually enable peer verification. As a result of this - change, existing code using ssl:// or tls:// stream wrappers (e.g. - file_get_contents(), fsockopen(), stream_socket_client()) may no longer - connect successfully without manually disabling peer verification via the - stream context's "verify_peer" setting. Encrypted transfers delegate to - operating system certificate stores by default, so many/most users *should* - be unaffected by this transparent security enhancement. +- DBA + . dba_delete() now returns false if the key was not found for the inifile + handler, too. ======================================== 2. New Features ======================================== -- Added constant scalar expressions syntax - (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/const_scalar_exprs) - -- Added dedicated syntax for variadic functions. - (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/variadics) - -- Added support for argument unpacking to complement the variadic syntax. - (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/argument_unpacking) - -- 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. - -- Added openssl peer verification support for SAN x509 extension - -- Added use function and use const. - (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/use_function) ======================================== 2. Changes in SAPI modules ======================================== -- Added phpdbg sapi. - (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/phpdbg) ======================================== 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 ======================================== -- GMP: - Added gmp_root($a, $nth) and gmp_rootrem($a, $nth) for calculating nth roots. - -- Openssl: - Added string openssl_x509_fingerprint($x509, $type, $binary). - Added string openssl_spki_new($private_key, $challenge, $algorithm) - Added bool openssl_spki_verify($spkac) - Added string openssl_spki_export($spkac) - Added string openssl_spki_export_challenge($spkac) - -- LDAP: - Added ldap_escape($value, $ignore = "", $flags = 0). - -- Zip: - Added ZipArchive::setPassword($password) ======================================== 6. New Classes and Interfaces @@ -132,50 +63,18 @@ PHP X.Y UPGRADE NOTES 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: - Changed always_populate_raw_post_data to throw a deprecation warning when - enabled and to recognize ohe value -1 for never populating the global - $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA variable, which will be default in future PHP versions. ======================================== 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.
