1. Internal API changes
========================
- a. virtual_file_ex
+ a. Streams pooling API
-virtual_file_ex takes now a TSRM context as last parameter:
-CWD_API int virtual_file_ex(cwd_state *state, const char *path,
- verify_path_func verify_path, int use_realpath TSRLS_DC);
+The streams pooling API has been removed. The following functions no longer
+exist:
-
- b. stat/lstat support
-
-lstat is now available on all platforms. On unix-like platform
-php_sys_lstat is an alias to lstat (when avaible). On Windows it is now
-available using php_sys_lstat. php_sys_stat and php_sys_lstat usage is recommended
-instead of calling lstat directly, to ensure portability.
-
-
- c. readlink support
-
-readlink is now available on all platforms. On unix-like platform
-php_sys_readlink is an alias to readlink (when avaible). On Windows it is now
-available using php_sys_readlink. php_sys_readlink usage is recommended
-instead of calling readlink directly, to ensure portability.
-
-
- d. layout of some core ZE structures (zend_op_array, zend_class_entry, ...)
-
-. zend_function.pass_rest_by_reference is replaced by
- ZEND_ACC_PASS_REST_BY_REFERENCE in zend_function.fn_flags
-. zend_function.return_reference is replaced by ZEND_ACC_RETURN_REFERENCE
- in zend_function.fn_flags
-. zend_arg_info.required_num_args removed. it was needed only for internal
- functions. Now the first arg_info for internal function (which has special
- meaning) is represented by zend_internal_function_info structure.
-. zend_op_array.size, size_var, size_literal, current_brk_cont,
- backpatch_count moved into CG(context), because they are used only during
- compilation.
-. zend_op_array.start_op is moved into EG(start_op), because it's used
- only for 'interactive' execution of single top-level op-array.
-. zend_op_array.done_pass_two is replaced by ZEND_ACC_DONE_PASS_TWO in
- zend_op_array.fn_flags.
-. op_array.vars array is trimmed (reallocated) during pass_two.
-. zend_class_entry.constants_updated is replaced by
- ZEND_ACC_CONSTANTS_UPDATED in zend_class_entry.ce_flags
-. the size of zend_class_entry is reduced by sharing the same memory space
- by different information for internal and user classes.
- See zend_class_inttry.info union.
-
-
- e. Zend\zend_fast_cache.h
-
-It should not have been used anymore since php5, but now this header has
-been removed. The following macros are not available anymore:
-
-ZEND_FAST_ALLOC(p, type, fc_type)
-ZEND_FAST_FREE(p, fc_type)
-ZEND_FAST_ALLOC_REL(p, type, fc_type)
-ZEND_FAST_FREE_REL(p, fc_type)
-
-Use emalloc, emalloc_rel, efree or efree_rel instead.
-
-
- f. Streams that enclose private streams
-
-Some streams, like the temp:// stream, may enclose private streams. If the
-outer stream leaks due to a programming error or is not exposed through a
-zval (and therefore is not deleted when all the zvals are gone), it will
-be destroyed on shutdown.
-The problem is that the outer usually wants itself to close the inner stream,
-so that it may do any other shutdown action that requires the inner stream to
-be live (e.g. commit data to it). If the outer stream is exposed through a
-zval and the inner one isn't, this is not a problem because the outer stream
-will be freed when the zval is destroyed, which happens before the resources
-are destroyed on shutdown.
-On resource list shutdown, the cleanup happens in reverse order of resource
-creation, so if the inner stream was created in the opener of the outer stream,
-it will be destroyed first.
-The following functions were added to the streams API to force a predictable
-destruction order:
-
-PHPAPI php_stream *php_stream_encloses(php_stream *enclosing, php_stream *enclosed);
-#define php_stream_free_enclosed(stream_enclosed, close_options)
-PHPAPI int _php_stream_free_enclosed(php_stream *stream_enclosed, int close_options TSRMLS_DC);
-
-Additionally, the following member was added to php_stream:
-
- struct _php_stream *enclosing_stream;
-
-and the following macro was added:
-
-#define PHP_STREAM_FREE_IGNORE_ENCLOSING 32
-
-The function php_stream_encloses declares the first stream encloses the second.
-This has the effect that, when the inner stream is closed from a resource
-destructor it will abort and try to free its enclosing stream instead.
-To prevent this from happening when the inner stream is freed from the outer
-stream, the macro php_stream_free_enclosed should be used instead of
-php_stream_free/php_stream_close/php_stream_pclose, or the flag
-PHP_STREAM_FREE_IGNORE_ENCLOSING should be directly passed to php_stream_free.
-The outer stream cannot abstain, in its close callback, from closing the inner
-stream or clear the enclosing_stream pointer in its enclosed stream by calling
-php_stream_encloses with the 2nd argument NULL. If this is not done, there will
-be problems, so observe this requirement when using php_stream_encloses.
-
-
- g. leak_variable
-
-The function leak_variable(variable [, leak_data]) was added. It is only
-available on debug builds. It increments the refcount of a zval or, if the
-second argument is true and the variable is either an object or a resource
-it increments the refcounts of those objects instead.
-

- h. API Signature changes
-
-. zend_list_insert
- ZEND_API int zend_list_insert(void *ptr, int type TSRMLS_DC);
- call: zend_list_insert(a, SOMETYPE TSRMLS_CC);

- ZEND_REGISTER_RESOURCE could be used instead.

- call: context = php_stream_context_alloc(TSRMLS_C);

-
-. tsrm_win32_access
- TSRM_API int tsrm_win32_access(const char *pathname, int mode TSRMLS_DC);
-

- (size_t parameters were ints, previous "quote_style" (now flags) has expanded meaning)
- PHPAPI char *php_escape_html_entities(unsigned char *old, size_t oldlen, size_t *newlen, int all, int flags, char *hint_charset TSRMLS_DC);
-
-. php_escape_html_entities_ex
- PHPAPI char *php_escape_html_entities_ex(unsigned char *old, size_t oldlen, size_t *newlen, int all, int flags, char *hint_charset, zend_bool double_encode TSRMLS_DC);

-
- i.
- PHPAPI char *expand_filepath_with_mode(const char *filepath, char *real_path, const char *relative_to, size_t relative_to_len, int realpath_mode TSRMLS_DC);
- expand_filepath_with_mode lets define how realpath will behave, using one of the existing mode: CWD_EXPAND , CWD_FILEPATH or CWD_REALPATH.
+PHPAPI int php_stream_context_get_link(php_stream_context *context,
+ const char *hostent, php_stream **stream);

========================
2. Build system changes
========================
a. Unix build system changes
-
- - Changes in SAPI module build:
- . When adding new binary SAPI (executable, like CLI/CGI/FPM) use CLI config.m4 and Makefile.frag files as templates and replace CLI/cli with your SAPI name.
-
- - New macros:
- . PHP_INIT_DTRACE(providerdesc, header-file, sources [, module])
-

b. Windows build system changes
