Subject: A list of PHP 6 changes from the old documentation
From: philip@roshambo.org (Philip Olson)


Here's a list of stuff we documented for [the old] PHP 6. This does =
_not_ necessarily reflect what was implemented, or what was going to be =
implemented, but it only refers to what did end up in the documentation =
(but is now commented out or removed).=20

Please determine which features/ideas are dead (or on extended holiday) =
versus which will end up in the current trunk.

Again, this only refers to stuff that was found within the PHP Manual =
for PHP 6. Of course, not every perceived PHP 6 change was documented
