This requirements bump should rarely affect anybody in practice. All
major distros already ship more recent ICU versions, and even for
Solaris 11, ICU 57.1 is available via OpenCSW. Note that ICU 57.1 has
been released on 2016-03-23[1].

Closes GH-16688.
When functions' or class methods' availability is based on some preprocessor
condition, the generated arginfo header files wrap the declarations in the
preprocessor `#if` conditional blocks, one per declaration, even if they are in
the same conditional block based on comments in the stub file. Instead of
having multiple conditional blocks one after the other with the same condition,
combine them into a single conditional block.
Currently, internal classes are registered with the following code:
INIT_CLASS_ENTRY(ce, "InternalClass", class_InternalClass_methods);
class_entry = zend_register_internal_class_ex(&ce, NULL);
class_entry->ce_flags |= ...;
This has worked well so far, except if InternalClass is readonly. It is because some inheritance checks are run by zend_register_internal_class_ex before ZEND_ACC_READONLY_CLASS is added to ce_flags.
The issue is fixed by adding a zend_register_internal_class_with_flags() zend API function that stubs can use from now on. This function makes sure to add the flags before running any checks. Since the new API is not available in lower PHP versions, gen_stub.php has to keep support for the existing API for PHP 8.3 and below.
As it is now, `IntlTimeZone`, `IntlCalendar` and `IntlDateFormatter`
and some other intl class instances can be serialized, but the
representation is meaningless, and unserialization yields uninitialized/
unusable objects. To prevent users from noticing this too late, we deny
serialization of such objects in the first place.
Closes GH-7945.
The hash is used to check whether the arginfo file needs to be
regenerated. PHP-Parser will only be downloaded if this is actually
necessary.
This ensures that release artifacts will never try to regenerate
stubs and thus fetch PHP-Parser, as long as you do not modify any
files.
Closes GH-5739.
Closes GH-5353. From now on, PHP will have reflection information
about default values of parameters of internal functions.
