Quoting from UPGRADING:
- A leading dollar in a quoted string can now be escaped: "\${" will now be
interpreted as a string with contents `${`.
- Backslashes in double quoted strings are now more consistently treated as
escape characters. Previously, "foo\\" followed by something other than a
newline was not considered as a teminated string. It is now interpreted as a
string with contents `foo\`. However, as an exception, the string "foo\"
followed by a newline will continue to be treated as a valid string with
contents `foo\` rather than an unterminated string. This exception exists to
support naive uses of Windows file pahts as "C:\foo\".
Closes GH-7420.
CGI/FastCGI.
- Added support for special [PATH=/opt/httpd/www.example.com/] sections
in php.ini. All directives set in these sections will not be able to be
overridden in user-defined ini-files or during runtime in the specified
path.
- Improved php.ini handling:
. Added better error reporting for syntax errors in php.ini files
. Allowed "ini-variables" to be used almost everywhere ini php.ini files
. Allowed using alphanumeric/variable indexes in "array" ini options
. Fixed get_cfg_var() to be able to return "array" ini options
- Fixed bug #27372 (parse error loading browscap.ini at apache startup)
- Fixed bug #42069 (parse_ini_file() allows using some non-alpha numeric
characters)
@DOC Pierre promised to handle the manual part of this :D
