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=3Dphp-src.git;a=3Dcommitdiff;h=3Decbe4af0de94c629fa5b=
a8ab169654e00c958bad
http://git.php.net/?p=3Dphp-src.git;a=3Dcommitdiff;h=3D361e984e462de5422bba=
5470d3961e67de327396
http://git.php.net/?p=3Dphp-src.git;a=3Dcommitdiff;h=3D95017c0522a9a1b9527d=
7cc1d866fbc3b89df7ac
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=3Dphp-src.git;a=3Dcommitdiff;h=3D423c70fb4d79b7831b1d=
b41ea217c8e1afd5cf8e
http://git.php.net/?p=3Dphp-src.git;a=3Dcommitdiff;h=3D449d4c0b1c6ea0f5dfe7=
b56c99d9fc4f2033d27c
http://git.php.net/?p=3Dphp-src.git;a=3Dcommitdiff;h=3D4a3936ef4abdeb72c7d3=
23fe4b6a65e1ae0ef181
http://git.php.net/?p=3Dphp-src.git;a=3Dcommitdiff;h=3D8d087dc0d7c88e265396=
46875dc0f7bb5042187b

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 =3D file_get_contents("php://input");) so maybe it
should be worth a discussion whether or not we should revert it from 5.6.
