+ The PHP development team is proud to announce the first PHP 5.4 alpha release. + PHP 5.4 includes new language features and removes several legacy (deprecated) behaviors. + Read the NEWS + file for a complete list of changes. +

+

+ THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT PREVIEW - DO NOT USE IT IN PRODUCTION! +

+

+ This alpha release exists to encourage users to identify bugs, and + to ensure that all new features and backward compatibility breaks are evaluated + and documented before PHP 5.4.0 is released. Please report findings to + the QA mailing list and/or + the PHP bug tracker. Windows binaries + can be downloaded from the + Windows QA site. +

+

+ Here is an incomplete list of changes: +

+
    +
  • Added: Traits language construct
  • +
  • Added: Array dereferencing support
  • +
  • Added: DTrace support
  • +
  • Improved: Improved Zend Engine memory usage and performance
  • +
  • Moved: ext/sqlite moved to pecl (sqlite3 support is still built-in)
  • +
+

+ Please note that some legacy features have been removed: +

+
    +
  • Removed: break/continue $var syntax
  • +
  • Removed: register_globals, allow_call_time_pass_reference, and register_long_arrays ini options
  • +
  • Removed: session_is_regisitered(), session_registered(), and session_unregister()
  • +
+

+ This is the first release that adopts the + releaseprocess RFC. + The next alpha will be released within four weeks. The PHP 5.4 feature + set and API has not been finalized. +
