Detailed Description

PHP 5.5.0beta1 is released (Mar 21th) FEATURE FREEZE
PHP 5.5.0beta2 is released (Mar 28th)

Finale version (Q1/2013) should be available before fedora 19 (Q2/2013).

Roadmap is delayed by a month, because of ZendOptimizerPlus code to be merged with php core.

Planed packaging changes

Build more extensions shared for flexibility

in php-common: bz2, calendar, ctype, exif, ftp, gettext, iconv, sockets and tokenizer
moved in php-gmp: gmp
moved in php-process: shmop
moved in php-xml: xml and simplexml

Drop libmysqlclient driver and only provide mysqlnd driver (this doesn't change mysql/mysqli extensions which can use both)

Drop json non-free extension (php-pecl-jsonc provides an alternative)

Add opcache extension (ZendOptimizer+, official upstream opcode cache) and remove opcode feature from APC (only kept for user data cache)

Activate dtrace/systemtap <sys/sdt.h> markers

Not rebuild yet:

zarafa (php-mapi): FTBFS, broken dep in BR

Contingency Plan

Work in a dedicated build target. Merge only when all is ok.

There is some risk that finale version not released at f19 time, but in case, we'll ship a RC.

Compatibility with previous PHP 5.4 is rather good.
