Changes made to default configuration ======================================== - The default_charset setting now defaults to UTF-8. It was ISO-88590-1 before, so if you were relying on the default, you will need to add: default_charset = iso-8859-1 to your php.ini to preserve pre-PHPX.Y behavior. - We now check at compile time if /dev/urandom or /dev/arandom are present to provide non-blocking entropy to session id generation. If either is present, session.entropy_file now defaults to that file and session.entropy_length defaults to 32. If you do not want extra entropy for your session ids for some reason, add: session.entropy_file= session.entropy_length=0 to your php.ini to preserve pre-PHPX.Y behavior. ============================= 2.
