========================================
1. Backward Incompatible Changes
========================================
========================================
2. New Features
========================================
- Curl:
. Added CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD option and returning the effective
HTTP method in curl_getinfo() return value.
- PCRE:
. Added support for the "n" (NO_AUTO_CAPTURE) modifier, which makes simple
`(xyz)` groups non-capturing. Only named groups like `(?<name>xyz)` are
capturing. This only affects which groups are capturing, it is still
possible to use numbered subpattern references, and the matches array will
still contain numbered results.
========================================
3. Changes in SAPI modules
========================================
========================================
4. Deprecated Functionality
========================================
- Core:
. Callables that are not accepted by the $callable() syntax (but are accepted
by call_user_func) are deprecated. In particular:
"self::method"
"parent::method"
"static::method"
["self", "method"]
["parent", "method"]
["static", "method"]
["Foo", "Bar::method"]
[new Foo, "Bar::method"]
This does not affect normal method callables like "A::method" or
["A", "method"]. A deprecation notice is only emitted on call. Both
is_callable() and the callable type will silently accept these callables
until support for them is removed entirely.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate_partially_supported_callables
- Mbstring:
. Use of QPrint, Base64, Uuencode, and HTML-ENTITIES 'text encodings' is
deprecated for all Mbstring functions. Unlike all the other text
encodings supported by Mbstring, these do not encode a sequence of
Unicode codepoints, but rather a sequence of raw bytes. It is not
clear what the correct return values for most Mbstring functions should
be when one of these non-encodings is specified. Further, PHP has
separate, built-in implementations of all of them; for example, UUencoded
data can be handled using convert_uuencode/convert_uudecode.
========================================
5. Changed Functions
========================================
- DBA
. dba_fetch()'s optional skip argument is now at the end in line with
PHP userland semantics its signature now is:
dba_fetch(string|array $key, $dba, int $skip = 0): string|false
The overloaded signature
dba_fetch(string|array $key, $skip, $dba): string|false
is still accepted, but it is recommended to use the new standard variant.
========================================
6. New Functions
========================================
========================================
7. New Classes and Interfaces
========================================
========================================
8. Removed Extensions and SAPIs
========================================

- Zip:
. extension updated to 1.20.0 with new methods:
ZipArchive::clearError, getStreamName and getStreamIndex

10. New Global Constants

11. Changes to INI File Handling
