<li>Removed 8KB limit on line length of the file() function (Zeev)</li>

  on-the-fly (Zeev, Zend Engine)</li>

  objects);  The equality operator (==) performs an unordered comparison,</li>
  whereas the identity operator (===) performs an ordered comparison (Zeev,</li>
  Zend Engine)</li>

  semi-colon ';'. (Andi, Zend Engine)</li>

  will use strict comparison instead of the default one. (Andrei)</li>

  under the same keys. (Andrei)</li>

  case of non-persistent connects (Zeev)</li>
<li>Added disable_functions php.ini directive, to allow administrators to disable</li>
  certain functions for security reasons (Zeev)</li>
<li>Fixed sessions on Win32. When setting the directory depth parameter in</li>
  save_path you need to now delimit it with a ';' instead of ':', e.g</li>
  "5;/tmp" instead of "5:/tmp" (Andi)</li>
<li>Changed the Apache handler's return status to 'Declined' when a requested</li>
  PHP file could not be found.  Returning 'Not Found' caused problems</li>
  in the ErrorDocument handler stage in that $REDIRECT_REDIRECT_ERROR_NOTES</li>
  was not getting set at all.  Moving to 'Declined' should fix this and I</li>
  can't see any other side effects.  (Rasmus)</li>
<li>Fixed scanning decimal numbers in internationalized environments. They should</li>
  always be in standard US format e.g. 23.3. (Andi, Zend Engine)</li>
<li>Added second argument to preg_quote() which allows quoting of</li>
  one additional character, usually the regex delimiter. (Andrei)</li>
<li>Uncommitted outstanding OCI8 transactions are now rolled back</li>
  before the connection is closed. (Thies)</li>
<li>ignore_user_abort() & friends should now work in CGI mode as well.</li>
  (Patch by daniel.braun@ercom.fr)</li>
<li>Added extension YAZ (dickmeiss).</li>
<li>Fixed a crash bug triggered by certain cases of class redeclarations</li>
  (Stanislav & Zeev, Zend Engine)</li>
<li>Fixed min()/max() segfault. (Andrei)</li>
<li>New module for reading EXIF header data from JPEG files.  Most digital</li>
  cameras will embed all sorts of information about a picture inside the</li>
  jpeg images it generates.  (Rasmus)</li>
<li>Fixed basename() bug where "file.ext///" would not return the same</li>
  as "/path/file.ext///" (Rasmus)</li>
<li>Added the swf_ortho function. (Sterling)</li>
<li>Moved to virtual current working directory support. This highly improves the</li>
  functionality and stability of multi-threaded versions of PHP (Andi, Sascha)</li>
</li>
