• Fix PHP-CGI query string parameter vulnerability, CVE-2012-1823.

Version 5.4.1

• CLI Server
  • (missing checks around malloc() calls).
  • (Built in web server does not set $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] when using router).

• Core
  • Fixed crash in ZTS using same class in many threads.
  • (html_entity_decode tries to decode code points that don't exist in ISO-8859-1).
  • (Incorrect lexing of 0b00*+<NUM>).
  • (Segfault when using header_register_callback).
  • (Missing error check in trait 'insteadof' clause).
  • (Crash when an exception is thrown by __autoload accessing a static property).
  • (exit code incorrect).
  • (Confusing error message when extending traits).
  • (Order of traits in use statement can cause a fatal error).
  • (type hinting with "self" keyword causes weird errors).

• Fileinfo
  • Fix fileinfo test problems.

• Intl
  • (Incorrent bounds checking in grapheme_strpos).

• mbstring
  • MFH mb_ereg_replace_callback() for security enhancements.

• mysqlnd
  • (mysqlnd FTBFS when -Wformat-security is enabled).

• Standard
  • Fixed memory leak in substr_replace.
  • Make max_file_uploads ini directive settable outside of php.
  • (Bad formatting on phpinfo()).
  • (time_nanosleep() does validate input params).
  • (stream_socket_server silently truncates long unix socket paths).

Version 5.4.0

• autoconf 2.59+ is now supported (and required) for generating the configure script with ./buildconf. Autoconf 2.60+ is desirable otherwise the configure help order may be incorrect.

• Removed legacy features
  • break/continue $var syntax.
  • Safe mode and all related ini options.
  • register_globals and register_long_arrays ini options.
  • import_request_variables().
  • allow_call_time_pass_reference.
  • define_syslog_variables ini option and its associated function.
  • highlight.bg ini option.
  • Session bug compatibility mode (session.bug_compat_42 and session.bug_compat_warn ini options).
  • session_is_registered(), session_register() and session_unregister() functions.
  • y2k_compliance ini option.
  • magic_quotes_gpc, magic_quotes_runtime and magic_quotes_sybase ini options. get_magic_quotes_gpc, get_magic_quotes_runtime are kept but always return false, set_magic_quotes_runtime raises an E_CORE_ERROR.
  • Removed support for putenv("TZ=..") for setting the timezone.
  • Removed the timezone guessing algorithm in case the timezone isn't set with date.timezone or date_default_timezone_set(). Instead of a guessed timezone, "UTC" is now used instead.

• Moved extensions to PECL
  • ext/sqlite. (Note: the ext/sqlite3 and ext/pdo_sqlite extensions are not affected)

• General improvements
  • Added short array syntax support ([1,2,3]), see UPGRADING guide for full details.
  • Added binary numbers format (0b001010).
  • Added support for Class::{expr}() syntax.
  • Added multibyte support by default. Previously php had to be compiled with --enable-zend-multibyte. Now it can be enabled or disabled through zend.multibyte directive in php.ini.
  • Removed compile time dependency from ext/mbstring.
  • Added support for Traits.
  • Added closure $this support back.
  • Added array dereferencing support.
  • Added callable typehint.
  • Added indirect method call through array. .
  • Added DTrace support.
  • Added class member access on instantiation (e.g. (new foo)->bar()) support.
  • <?= is now always available regardless of the short_open_tag setting.
  • Implemented Zend Signal Handling (configurable option --enable-zend-signals, off by default).
  • Improved output layer, see README.NEW-OUTPUT-API for internals.
  • Improved unix build system to allow building multiple PHP binary SAPIs and one SAPI module the same time. , .
  • Implemented closure rebinding as parameter to bindTo.
  • Improved the warning message of incompatible arguments.
  • Improved ternary operator performance when returning arrays.
  • Changed error handlers to only generate docref links when the docref_root INI setting is not empty.
  • Changed silent conversion of array to string to produce a notice.
  • Changed default value of "default_charset" php.ini option from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.
  • Changed silent casting of null/''/false into an Object when adding a property into a warning.
  • Changed E_ALL to include E_STRICT.
  • Disabled windows CRT warning by default, can be enabled again using the ini directive windows_show_crt_warnings.
  • : Binary number literal returns float number though its value is small enough.

• Improved Zend Engine memory usage
  • Improved parse error messages.
  • Replaced zend_function.pass_rest_by_reference by ZEND_ACC_PASS_REST_BY_REFERENCE in zend_function.fn_flags.
  • Replaced zend_function.return_reference by ZEND_ACC_RETURN_REFERENCE in zend_function.fn_flags.
  • Removed zend_arg_info.required_num_args as it was only needed for internal functions. Now the first arg_info for internal functions (which has special meaning) is represented by zend_internal_function_info structure.
  • Moved zend_op_array.size, size_var, size_literal, current_brk_cont, backpatch_count into CG(context) as they are used only during compilation.
  • Moved zend_op_array.start_op into EG(start_op) as it's used only for 'interactive' execution of single top-level op-array.
  • Replaced zend_op_array.done_pass_two by ZEND_ACC_DONE_PASS_TWO in zend_op_array.fn_flags.
  • op_array.vars array is trimmed (reallocated) during pass_two.
  • Replaced zend_class_entry.constants_updated by ZEND_ACC_CONSTANTS_UPDATED in zend_class_entry.ce_flags.
  • Reduced the size of zend_class_entry by sharing the same memory space by different information for internal and user classes. See zend_class_entry.info union.
  • Reduced size of temp_variable.

• Improved Zend Engine, performance tweaks and optimizations
  • Inlined most probable code-paths for arithmetic operations directly into executor.
  • Eliminated unnecessary iterations during request startup/shutdown.
  • Changed $GLOBALS into a JIT autoglobal, so it's initialized only if used. (this may affect opcode caches!)
  • Improved performance of @ (silence) operator.
  • Simplified string offset reading. $str[1][0] is now a legal construct.
  • Added caches to eliminate repeatable run-time bindings of functions, classes, constants, methods and properties.
  • Added concept of interned strings. All strings constants known at compile time are allocated in a single copy and never changed.
  • ZEND_RECV now always has IS_CV as its result.
  • ZEND_CATCH now has to be used only with constant class names.
  • ZEND_FETCH_DIM_? may fetch array and dimension operands in different order.
  • Simplified ZEND_FETCH_*_R operations. They can't be used with the EXT_TYPE_UNUSED flag any more. This is a very rare and useless case. ZEND_FREE might be required after them instead.
  • Split ZEND_RETURN into two new instructions ZEND_RETURN and ZEND_RETURN_BY_REF.
  • Optimized access to global constants using values with pre-calculated hash_values from the literals table.
  • Optimized access to static properties using executor specialization. A constant class name may be used as a direct operand of ZEND_FETCH_* instruction without previous ZEND_FETCH_CLASS.
  • zend_stack and zend_ptr_stack allocation is delayed until actual usage.

• Other improvements to Zend Engine
  • Added an optimization which saves memory and emalloc/efree calls for empty HashTables.
