Hi,
I was working on that last week, there are a couple of test related changes
which should/could be backported to 5.5 (and maybe even 5.4):
http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commitdiff;h=ecbe4af0de94c629fa5ba8ab169654e00c958bad
http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commitdiff;h=361e984e462de5422bba5470d3961e67de327396
http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commitdiff;h=95017c0522a9a1b9527d7cc1d866fbc3b89df7ac
I have sent an email to Sara/ptarjan, but got no response yet:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.php.cvs.general/62834
The sole BC break I've found yet was the removal of $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA and
co from Mike:
http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commitdiff;h=423c70fb4d79b7831b1db41ea217c8e1afd5cf8e
http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commitdiff;h=449d4c0b1c6ea0f5dfe7b56c99d9fc4f2033d27c
http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commitdiff;h=4a3936ef4abdeb72c7d323fe4b6a65e1ae0ef181
http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commitdiff;h=8d087dc0d7c88e26539646875dc0f7bb5042187b
This would be a measurable improvement for many of our users with a
relatively easy way to restore/emulate the old behavior
($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = file_get_contents("php://input");) so maybe it
should be worth a discussion whether or not we should revert it from 5.6.
