Backward Incompatible Changes 20======================================== 21 22- BZ2: 23 . bzcompress() now throws a ValueError when $block_size is not between 24 1 and 9. 25 . bzcompress() now throws a ValueError when $work_factor is not between 26 0 and 250. 27 28- LDAP: 29 . ldap_get_option() and ldap_set_option() now throw a ValueError when 30 passing an invalid option. 31 32- SPL: 33 . ArrayObject no longer accepts enums, as modifying the $name or $value 34 properties can break engine assumptions. 35 36======================================== 372. New Features 38======================================== 39 40- DOM: 41 . Added Dom\Element::$outerHTML. 42 43- XSL: 44 . The $namespace argument of XSLTProcessor::getParameter(), 45 XSLTProcessor::setParameter() and XSLTProcessor::removeParameter() 46 now actually works instead of being treated as empty. 47 This only works if the $name argument does not use Clark notation 48 and is not a QName because in those cases the namespace is taken 49 from the namespace href or prefix respectively. 50 51======================================== 523. Changes in SAPI modules 53======================================== 54 55======================================== 564. Deprecated Functionality 57======================================== 58 59======================================== 605. Changed Functions 61======================================== 62 63- Zlib: 64 . The "use_include_path" argument for the 65 gzfile, gzopen and readgzfile functions had been changed 66 from int to boolean. 67 68- PDO_PGSQL: 69 . PDO::pgsqlCopyFromArray also supports inputs as Iterable. 70 . Pdo\Pgsql::setAttribute and Pdo\Pgsql::prepare supports 71 PDO::ATTR_PREFETCH sets to 0 which set to lazy fetch mode. 72 In this mode, statements cannot be run parallely. 73 74- PGSQL: 75 . pg_copy_from also supports inputs as Iterable. 76 77======================================== 786. New Functions 79======================================== 80 81- Curl: 82 . curl_multi_get_handles() allows retrieving all CurlHandles current 83 attached to a CurlMultiHandle. This includes both handles added using 84 curl_multi_add_handle() and handles accepted by CURLMOPT_PUSHFUNCTION. 85 86- PGSQL: 87 . pg_close_stmt offers an alternative way to close a prepared 88 statement from the DEALLOCATE sql command in that we can reuse 89 its name afterwards. 90 91- Reflection: 92 . ReflectionConstant::getFileName() was introduced. 93 94======================================== 957. New Classes and Interfaces 96======================================== 97 98======================================== 998. Removed Extensions and SAPIs 100======================================== 101 102======================================== 1039. Other Changes to Extensions 104======================================== 105 106- Readline: 107 . The return types of readline_add_history(), readline_clear_history(), and 108 readline_callback_handler_install() have been changed to true, rather 109 than bool. 110 111======================================== 11210. New Global Constants 113======================================== 114 115======================================== 11611. Changes to INI File Handling 117======================================== 118 119======================================== 12012. Windows Support 121======================================== 122 123* The configuration variables PHP_VERSION, PHP_MINOR_VERSION, and 124 PHP_RELEASE_VERSION are now always numbers. Previously, they have been 125 strings for buildconf builds. 126 127* FFI: 128 . It is no longer necessary to specify the library when using FFI::cdef() 129 and FFI::load(). However, this convenience feature should not be used in 130 production. 131 132======================================== 13313. Other Changes 134======================================== 135 136======================================== 13714. Performance Improvements 138======================================== 139 140- XMLWriter: 141 . Improved performance and reduce memory consumption. 142
