  . SA_ONSTACK is now set when signals are disabled. (Kévin Dunglas)

- Fileinfo:
  . Upgrade bundled libmagic to 5.43. (Anatol)

- FPM:
  . The status.listen shared pool now uses the same php_values (including
    expose_php) and php_admin_value as the pool it is shared with. (dwxh)

- GD:

    imageloadfont(). (CVE-2022-31630) (cmb)

- MBString:
  . mb_detect_encoding is better able to identify the correct encoding for
    Turkish text. (Alex Dowad)
  . mb_detect_encoding's "non-strict" mode now behaves as described in the
    documentation. Previously, it would return false if the very first byte
    of the input string was invalid in all candidate encodings. (Alex Dowad)
  . mb_strtolower, mb_strtotitle, and mb_convert_case implement conditional
    casing rules for the Greek letter sigma. For mb_convert_case, conditional
    casing only applies to MB_CASE_LOWER and MB_CASE_TITLE modes, not to
    MB_CASE_LOWER_SIMPLE and MB_CASE_TITLE_SIMPLE. (Alex Dowad)
  . mb_detect_encoding is better able to identify UTF-8 and UTF-16 strings
    with a byte-order mark. (Alex Dowad)
  . mb_decode_mimeheader interprets underscores in QPrint-encoded MIME
    encoded words as required by RFC 2047; they are converted to spaces.
    Underscores must be encoded as "=5F" in such MIME encoded words.
    (Alex Dowad)
  . mb_encode_mimeheader no longer drops NUL (zero) bytes when
    QPrint-encoding the input string. This previously caused strings in
    certain text encodings, especially UTF-16 and UTF-32, to be
    corrupted by mb_encode_mimeheader. (Alex Dowad)

    mt_srand() nullable). (kocsismate)
  . Enable getrandom() for NetBSD (from 10.x). (David Carlier)

  . Fix GH-9470 (ReflectionMethod constructor should not find private parent
    method). (ilutov)

    type). (kocsismate)
  . Fix Segfault when using ReflectionFiber suspended by an internal function.
    (danog)
