========================================
1. Backward Incompatible Changes
========================================

- Core:
  . ??/empty() on a magic property no longer call __get() when __isset()
    has materialised the property by writing into the property table.
    The freshly-written value is returned directly. isset() is unaffected.

- COM
  . It is no longer possible to clone variant objects, this is because
    the cloning behaviour was ill defined.

- DOM:
  . Properties previously documented as @readonly (e.g. DOMNode::$nodeType,
    DOMDocument::$xmlEncoding, DOMEntity::$actualEncoding, ::$encoding,
    ::$version) are now declared with asymmetric visibility
    (public private(set)). Attempts to write to them from outside the
    class now raise "Cannot modify private(set) property <class>::$<prop>
    from global scope" instead of the prior readonly modification error.
    ReflectionProperty::isWritable() also reports these properties
    accurately.
  . Array access on Dom\DtdNamedNodeMap objects now returns null for negative
    integer indexes instead of returning the first node.
  . Array access on Dom\DtdNamedNodeMap objects now raises a ValueError when
    the integer index is greater than INT_MAX instead of overflowing to a
    smaller index.

- GD:
  . imagesetstyle(), imagefilter() and imagecrop() filter their array arguments
    types / values and raise a TypeError / ValueError accordingly.

- GMP:
  . GMP power and shift operators now throw ValueError when GMP right operands
    are outside the unsigned long range, instead of silently truncating them.
  . GMP integer string parsing now throw ValueError strings containing NUL
    bytes, instead of silently truncating them.

- Intl:
  . Passing a non-stringable object as a time zone to Intl APIs that accept
    time zone objects or strings now raises a TypeError instead of an Error.
  . IntlIterator::current() now returns null when called before the iterator is
    positioned, or after the iterator becomes invalid, instead of exposing an
    undefined value.
  . IntlBreakIterator::getLocale() now raises a ValueError when the type is
    neither Locale::ACTUAL_LOCALE nor Locale::VALID_LOCALE instead of
    returning false.
  . MessageFormatter::parse() and parseMessage() now return PHP_INT_MIN as
    int, rather than float, on 64-bit platforms when parsing integer values.
  . The $type parameter of IntlBreakIterator::getPartsIterator() has been
    changed from string to int to match the underlying implementation.
  . UConverter::transcode() now rejects from_subst and to_subst option values
    longer than 127 bytes instead of silently truncating the length before
    passing it to ICU.
  . ResourceBundle::get() and resourcebundle_get() now report fallback-disabled
    resource lookups with "without fallback to <locale>" instead of the
    malformed "without fallback from to <locale>".
  . IntlDateFormatter::parse()/datefmt_parse() and
    IntlDateFormatter::localtime()/datefmt_localtime() now raise a TypeError
    when the offset argument is not of type int instead of silently converting
    the value.
  . Collator::sort(), collator_sort(), Collator::asort(), and
    collator_asort() now report UTF-8/UTF-16 conversion failures during
    comparison through the intl error mechanism and return false. With
    intl.use_exceptions enabled, these failures throw IntlException. Previously,
    these paths emitted a warning and compared the value as an empty string.

- PCNTL:
  . pcntl_alarm() now raises a ValueError if the seconds argument is
    lower than zero or greater than platform's UINT_MAX.
  . pcntl_exec() now raises a ValueError if the $args argument is not a list
    array.

- PCRE:
  . preg_grep() now returns false instead of a partial array when a PCRE
    execution error occurs (e.g. malformed UTF-8 input with the /u modifier).
    This is consistent with other preg_* functions.

- Phar:
  . Phar::mungServer() now raises a ValueError when an invalid argument value
    is passed instead of being silently ignored.
  . Phar::addEmptyDir() now rejects "/.phar" paths in addition to ".phar"
    paths, and raises the same BadMethodCallException for attempts to create
    the reserved magic ".phar" directory through that form.
  . Phar::addEmptyDir() now treats non-magic names that merely share the
    ".phar" prefix as ordinary directories.

- PGSQL:
  . pg_fetch_object() now reports the ValueError for a non-empty
    $constructor_args on a class without a constructor on the
    $constructor_args argument instead of $class. Errors raised when
    the requested class is not instantiable (abstract, interface, enum)
    now surface before the row is fetched.

- Posix:
  . posix_access() now raises a ValueError when an invalid $flags
    argument value is passed.
  . posix_mkfifo() now raises a ValueError when an invalid $permissions
    argument value is passed.

- Session:
  . Setting session.cookie_path, session.cookie_domain, or session.cache_limiter
    to a value containing NUL bytes now emits a warning and leaves the setting
    unchanged. Previously, NUL bytes were silently accepted: for cookie_path
    and cookie_domain this caused the SAPI to drop the Set-Cookie header; for
    cache_limiter the value was silently truncated at the NUL byte.
  . A ValueError is not thrown if $name is a string containing NUL bytes in
    session_module_name().
  . session_encode() now returns an empty string instead of false for empty
    sessions. It only returns false now when the session data could not be
    encoded. This mainly happens with the default serialization handler
    if a key contains the pipe | character.
  . When session.lazy_write is enabled and a session handler implements
    SessionUpdateTimestampHandlerInterface, sessions that were read as empty
    and remain empty at write time will now trigger updateTimestamp() instead
    of write(). Previously, write() was always called for empty sessions
    because session_encode() returned false, bypassing the lazy_write
    comparison. Custom session handlers that rely on write() being called
    with empty data (e.g. to destroy the session) should implement the same
    logic in their updateTimestamp() method.
  . The defaults of three session INI settings have changed to provide secure
    behavior out of the box:
      - session.use_strict_mode is now 1 (was 0). Strict mode rejects
        uninitialized session IDs, mitigating session fixation. Custom session
        handlers that previously relied on accepting externally supplied IDs
        without a corresponding storage entry must either implement
        validateId() / create_sid() or explicitly set this to 0.
      - session.cookie_httponly is now 1 (was 0). Session cookies are no
        longer accessible to JavaScript via document.cookie. Applications
        that read the session cookie from JavaScript must explicitly set
        this to 0.
      - session.cookie_samesite is now "Lax" (was unset). Session cookies
        are no longer sent on cross-site requests other than top-level
        navigations using safe HTTP methods. Applications that depend on
        session cookies being sent on cross-site POST submissions must
        explicitly set this to "None" (and also set session.cookie_secure
        to 1).
    RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/session_security_defaults

- Shmop:
  . shmop_open() now raises a ValueError when the $key argument is outside the
    platform's key_t range instead of passing a truncated key to the operating
    system.

- SOAP:
  . The "classmap" option of SoapClient and SoapServer now rejects arrays
    containing integer keys. Previously, sparse integer-keyed and mixed-keyed
    arrays could be accepted. SoapClient now throws TypeError for non-array
    "classmap" options and ValueError for arrays containing integer keys, also
    when the "exceptions" option is disabled.
  . WSDL/XML Schema parsing now rejects out-of-range integer values for
    occurrence constraints and integer restriction facets. Negative minOccurs
    and maxOccurs values are rejected as well.
  . SOAP encoding errors now report the affected type or failing operation in
    the error message instead of the generic "Encoding: Violation of encoding
    rules" message. Code that compares the exact message may need to be
    updated.

- Sodium:
  . The password-hashing functions sodium_crypto_pwhash(),
    sodium_crypto_pwhash_str(),
    sodium_crypto_pwhash_scryptsalsa208sha256() and
    sodium_crypto_pwhash_scryptsalsa208sha256_str() now throw ValueError
    instead of SodiumException when an argument is out of range, such as an
    opslimit or memlimit below the documented minimum. SodiumException is
    still thrown for internal libsodium failures.

- SPL:
  . SplObjectStorage::getHash() implementations may no longer mutate any
    SplObjectStorage instance. Attempting to do so now throws an Error.
  . SplFileObject::next() now advances the stream when no prior current()
    call has cached a line. A subsequent current() call returns the new line
    rather than the previous one.
  . SplFileObject::fgets() no longer caches the returned line for subsequent
    current() calls. current() now re-reads from the current stream position
    instead of returning the line fgets() just returned.
  . SplFileObject::next() past EOF no longer increments key() without bound.
    SplFileObject::seek() past EOF now produces the same key() value as
    SplTempFileObject; the two previously returned different values.

- Standard:
  . Form feed (\f) is now added in the default trimmed characters of trim(),
    rtrim() and ltrim().
    RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/trim_form_feed
  . array_filter() now raises a ValueError when an invalid $mode argument value
    is passed.
  . array_change_key_case() now raises a ValueError when an invalid $case
    argument value is passed.
  . getenv() and putenv() now raises a ValueError when the first argument
    contains NUL bytes.
  . dl() now raises a ValueError when the $extension_filename argument contains
    NUL bytes.
  . openlog() now raises a ValueError when the $prefix argument contains NUL
    bytes.
  . parse_str() now raises a ValueError when the $string argument contains NUL
    bytes.
  . setlocale() now raises a ValueError when a locale name contains NUL bytes,
    instead of silently truncating it.
    Arrays are now accepted only for the $locales argument. Passing an array as
    a later variadic locale argument now throws a TypeError. Passing any
    additional locale arguments when $locales is an array now throws an
    ArgumentCountError.
  . linkinfo() now raises a ValueError when the $path argument is empty.
  . pathinfo() now raises a ValueError when an invalid $flag argument value is
    passed.
  . scandir() now raises a ValueError when an invalid $sorting_order argument
    value is passed.
  . number_format() now raises a ValueError when $decimals is outside the
    integer range instead of silently clamping very large positive values.
  . sleep() now raises a ValueError when $seconds is greater than the platform
    limit (UINT_MAX seconds, or UINT_MAX / 1000 seconds on Windows) instead of
    allowing the value to overflow.
  . usleep() now raises a ValueError when $microseconds is greater than
    UINT_MAX instead of allowing the value to overflow.
  . proc_open() now raises a ValueError when the $cwd argument contains NUL
    bytes.
  . base_convert(), bindex(), hexdec() and octdec() now raise a notice when
    they cannot precisely convert the given number.
  . The following functions now raise a ValueError when the $filename argument
    contains NUL bytes:
    - fileperms()
    - fileinode()
    - filesize()
    - fileowner()
    - filegroup()
    - fileatime()
    - filemtime()
    - filectime()
    - filetype()
    - is_writable()
    - is_readable()
    - is_executable()
    - is_file()
    - is_dir()
    - is_link()
    - file_exists()
    - lstat()
    - stat()

- Sysvshm:
  . shm_attach() now raises a ValueError when the $key argument is outside the
    platform's key_t range instead of passing a truncated key to the operating
    system.

- Zip:
  . ZipArchive::extractTo now raises a TypeError for the files argument if one
    or more of the entries is not a string.
  . ZipArchive::addGlob() and ZipArchive::addPattern() now raise a TypeError
    when the "remove_all_path" option is not of type bool, or when the
    "comp_method", "comp_flags", or "enc_method" options are not of type int
    (numeric strings are coerced), instead of emitting a warning.

- Zlib:
  . deflate_init() now raises a TypeError when the value for option "level",
    "memory", "window", or "strategy" is not of type int.
  . inflate_init() now raises a TypeError when the value for option "window" is
    not of type int.

========================================
2. New Features
========================================

- Core:
  . It is now possible to use reference assign on WeakMap without the key
    needing to be present beforehand.
  . It is now possible to define the __debugInfo() magic method on enums.
    RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/debugable-enums
  . #[\Override] can now be applied to class constants, including enum cases.
    RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/override_constants
  . Implemented partial function application
    RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/partial_function_application_v2

- Curl:
  . curl_getinfo() return array now includes a new size_delivered key, which
    indicates the total number of bytes passed to the download write callback.
    This value can also be obtained by passing CURLINFO_SIZE_DELIVERED as the
    $option parameter.
    Requires libcurl 8.20.0 or later.
  . Added CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION to register a callback that repositions a
    streamed request body so libcurl can rewind and resend it on a redirect,
    multi-pass authentication, or a retried reused connection instead of
    failing with CURLE_SEND_FAIL_REWIND. The callback receives the CurlHandle,
    offset and origin, and must return one of CURL_SEEKFUNC_OK,
    CURL_SEEKFUNC_FAIL or CURL_SEEKFUNC_CANTSEEK.

- Fileinfo:
  . finfo_file() now works with remote streams.

- GMP:
  . Added gmp_powm_sec() for side-channel quiet modular exponentiation.
    Requires GNU MP 5.0.0 or later.
  . Added gmp_prevprime() to get the largest prime smaller than the given
    number. The optional $definitely_prime output parameter indicates whether
    the returned number is definitely prime, as opposed to probably prime.
    A ValueError is thrown if no such prime exists. This function is available
    only when PHP is built against GNU MP 6.3.0 or later; it is not available
    on official Windows builds using MPIR.

- Intl:
  . Added Locale::getDisplayKeyword() and Locale::getDisplayKeywordValue(),
    with the alias of locale_get_display_keyword() and
    locale_get_display_keyword_value() respectively.
    RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/getdisplaykeyword_and_getdisplaykeywordvalue
  . Added IntlNumberRangeFormatter class to format an interval of two numbers
    with a given skeleton, locale, IntlNumberRangeFormatter::COLLAPSE_AUTO,
    IntlNumberRangeFormatter::COLLAPSE_NONE,
    IntlNumberRangeFormatter::COLLAPSE_UNIT,
    IntlNumberRangeFormatter::COLLAPSE_ALL collapse and
    IntlNumberRangeFormatter::IDENTITY_FALLBACK_SINGLE_VALUE,
    IntlNumberRangeFormatter::IDENTITY_FALLBACK_APPROXIMATELY_OR_SINGLE_VALUE,
    IntlNumberRangeFormatter::IDENTITY_FALLBACK_APPROXIMATELY and
    IntlNumberRangeFormatter::IDENTITY_FALLBACK_RANGE identity fallbacks.
    It is supported from icu 63.
  . Added SpoofChecker::areBidiConfusable() to check whether two strings are
    confusable for a given text direction, along with the SpoofChecker::LTR
    and SpoofChecker::RTL direction constants.
    It is supported from icu 74.

- IO:
  . Added new polling API.
    RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/poll_api

- JSON:
  . Added extra info about error location to the JSON error messages returned
    from json_last_error_msg() and JsonException message.

- OpenSSL:
  . Added TLS session resumption support for streams with new stream context
    options: session_data, session_new_cb, session_cache, session_cache_size,
    session_timeout, session_id_context, session_get_cb, session_remove_cb,
    and num_tickets. This allows saving and restoring client sessions across
    requests, implementing custom server-side session storage, and controlling
    session cache behavior.
    RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/tls_session_resumption
  . Added TLS external PSK support for streams with new stream context options:
    psk_client_cb and psk_server_cb. This allows setting and receiving PSK.
  . Added TLS 1.3 early data (0-RTT) support for streams. Clients send early
    data with the early_data context option; servers accept it with
    max_early_data and receive it through the early_data_cb callback. The
    outcome is reported as 'accepted', 'rejected' or 'not_sent' in the
    early_data key of the crypto stream_get_meta_data() array.

- Phar:
  . Overriding the getMTime() and getPathname() methods of SplFileInfo now
    influences the result of the phar buildFrom family of functions.
    This makes it possible to override the timestamp and names of files.

- Streams:
  . Added new stream errors API including new classes, enums, functions and
    internal API. It is controlled using error_mode, error_store and
    error_handler stream context options.
    RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/stream_errors
  . Added the "filter.max_filter_count" stream context option for php://filter
    URLs. When set, opening the stream fails with a warning if the URL would
    add more filters than the configured value. Negative values disable the
    check.
    RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/limit-maximum-number-of-filter-chains
  . Added stream socket context option so_reuseaddr that allows disabling
    address reuse (SO_REUSEADDR) and explicitly uses SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE on
    Windows.
  . Added stream socket context options so_keepalive, tcp_keepidle,
    tcp_keepintvl and tcp_keepcnt that allow setting socket keepalive
    options.
  . Allowed casting casting filtered streams as file descriptor for select.
  . Added the "write_seek_mode stream" filter parameter for the bz2, iconv,
    zlib, and string stream filters. This parameter must be set via an
    associative array where the key is "write_seek_mode stream" and the
    value is one of the following strings "preserve", "reset", or "strict".

- URI:
  . Added Uri\Rfc3986\Uri::getUriType() and Uri\WhatWg\Url::isSpecialScheme().
    RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/uri_followup#uri_type_detection
  . Added Uri\Rfc3986\Uri::getHostType() and Uri\WhatWg\Url::getHostType().
    RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/uri_followup#host_type_detection
  . Added Uri\Rfc3986\UriBuilder.
    RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/uri_followup#uri_building

========================================
3. Changes in SAPI modules
========================================

- CLI:
  . The built-in development server now accepts requests using the QUERY HTTP
    method instead of returning 501 Not Implemented.

========================================
4. Deprecated Functionality
========================================

- Core:
  . Specifying a return type of array|null / ?array for __debugInfo() is now
    deprecated. Specify array instead.
  . Returning values from __construct() and __destruct() is now deprecated.
    RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate-return-value-from-construct
  . Making __construct() and __destruct() a Generator is now deprecated.
    RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate-return-value-from-construct

- GMP
  . The shift (<<, >>) and exponentiation (**) operators on GMP objects now
    emit a deprecation warning when converting a float right operand to int
    loses precision.

- Mbstring:
  . Mbregex has been deprecated, because the underlying Oniguruma library
    is no longer maintained.
    RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/eol-oniguruma

- Standard:
  . Using more than 16 filters in a php://filter URL without configuring the
    "filter.max_filter_count" stream context option now emits an E_DEPRECATED
    warning. Use stream_filter_append() or configure this option explicitly.
    RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/limit-maximum-number-of-filter-chains

========================================
5. Changed Functions
========================================

- GMP:
  . gmp_fact() now throws a ValueError() if $num does not fit into a unsigned
    long.
  . gmp_pow(), gmp_binomial(), gmp_root() and gmp_rootrem() now throw a
    ValueError if their second argument does not fit into an unsigned long.
  . The shift (<<, >>) and exponentiation (**) operators on GMP objects now
    throw a ValueError if the right operand does not fit into an unsigned long.
  . gmp_powm() modulo-by-zero now raises a DivisionByZeroError whose message
    includes the function name and argument index ($modulus).

- mysqli:
  . The return structure of mysqli_get_charset() no longer contains the
    undocumented "comment" element. The value of "charsetnr" is now set to a
    constant 0 as this number was an implementation detail that should not have
    been exposed to the public.

- OpenSSL:
  . Output of openssl_x509_parse() contains criticalExtensions listing all
    critical certificate extensions.
  . openssl_sign() and openssl_verify() now have an additional optional
    argument $salt_length that allows controlling the RSA-PSS salt length
    when OPENSSL_PKCS1_PSS_PADDING is used. It accepts an explicit length or
    one of the new OPENSSL_RSA_PSS_SALTLEN_* constants.

- PDO_DBLIB:
  . When using persistent connections, there is now a liveness check in the
    constructor.

- Phar:
  . Phar::mungServer() now supports reference values.

- Sockets:
  . socket_addrinfo_lookup() now has an additional optional argument $error
    when not null, and on failure, gives the error code (one of the EAI_*
    constants).

- Standard:
  . ini_get_all() now includes a "builtin_default_value" element for each
    directive when $details is true. It holds the built-in default value of the
    directive (or null if it has none), independent of values set in php.ini,
    on the command line, or at runtime.

- Mbstring:
  . The mbstring.detect_order INI directive now updates the internal detection
    order when changed at runtime via ini_set(). Previously, runtime changes
    using ini_set() did not take effect for mb_detect_order(). Setting the
    directive to NULL or an empty string at runtime now leaves the previously
    configured detection order unchanged.

- Mysqli:
  . mysqli.default_port now checks the validity of the value which should be
    between 0 and 65535 included.

- Opcache:
  . opcache.jit_debug accepts a new flag: ZEND_JIT_DEBUG_TRACE_EXIT_INFO_SRC.
    When used along with ZEND_JIT_DEBUG_TRACE_EXIT_INFO, the source of exit
    points is printed in exit info output, in debug builds.

13. Other Changes
========================================

- Core:
  . In case of a hard OOM PHP now calls abort() instead of exit(1), changing
    the exit code to 134 and possibly creating a core dump.
  . The PHP_OS_FAMILY constant has an AIX value for when running on AIX or
    IBM i via PASE.

========================================
14. Performance Improvements
========================================

- Core:
  . printf() using only "%s" and "%d" will be compiled into the equivalent
    string interpolation, avoiding the overhead of a function call and
    repeatedly parsing the format string.
  . Arguments are now passed more efficiently to known constructors (e.g. when
    using new self()).
  . array_map() using a first-class callable or partial function application
    callback will be compiled into the equivalent foreach-loop, avoiding the
    creation of intermediate Closures, the overhead of calling userland
    callbacks from internal functions and providing for better insight for the
    JIT.
  . The performance of the TAILCALL VM has been improved.
  . The TAILCALL VM is now enabled on Windows when compiling with Clang >= 19
    x86_64.
  . The performance of ZTS builds has been improved.

- DOM:
  . Made splitText() faster and consume less memory.

- JSON:
  . Improve performance of encoding arrays and objects.
  . Improved performance of indentation generation in json_encode()
    when using PHP_JSON_PRETTY_PRINT.

- Intl:
  . Improved performance of IntlCalendar::getAvailableLocales() and
    IntlDateFormatter::localtime() / datefmt_localtime() by pre-allocating
    their returned arrays.
  . Improved performance of transliterator_list_ids() and
    resourcebundle_locales() by pre-allocating their returned arrays.

- Phar:
  . Reduced temporary allocations when iterating Phar directories.

- Standard:
  . Improved performance of array_fill_keys().
  . Improved performance of array_map() with multiple arrays passed.
  . Improved performance of array_sum() and array_product() for
    integer-only arrays.
  . Improved performance of array_unshift().
  . Improved performance of array_walk().
  . Improved performance of intval('+0b...', 2) and intval('0b...', 2).
  . Improved performance of str_split().

- URI:
  . Improved performance of Uri\WhatWg\Url::parse() when collecting
    validation errors by pre-allocating the error array.
  . Reduced allocations when reading IPv6/IPFuture hosts and paths with
    Uri\Rfc3986\Uri.
  . Improved performance and memory consumption when using normalizing
    (non-raw) getters on already-normalized URIs with Uri\Rfc3986\Uri.

- Zip:
  . Improved performance of ZipArchive::addGlob() and
    ZipArchive::addPattern() by pre-allocating their returned arrays.
  . Avoid string copies in ZipArchive::addFromString().
