Hi!

> - Added runtime JIT auto-globals fetching and caching. (Dmitry, Sara)

Does this change any semantics, etc? Any reason why it wasn't merged in 
the first place?

> - Added "jump label" operator (limited "goto"). (Dmitry, Sara)

No strong opinion here, I didn't need it anyway :)

> - Removed support for "continue" and "break" operators with non-constant
>   operands. (Dmitry)

I'd wait for 6 with this. May break some scripts.

> - Removed undocumented and incomplete support for strings in list()
> operator. (Dmitry)

Not sure here. What code does it break?

> - Changed "instanceof" and "catch" operators, is_a() and
> is_subclass_of() functions to not call __autoload(). (Dmitry)

This definitely should be - there's absolutely no reason any kind on 
instanceof-like operator would call autoload.
