Hi internals

We like to announce the 7th Release Candidate of PHP 5.4.0.
We fixed some critical bugs in the PHP 5.4.0 codebase. Therefore we
had to release another RC.

You can download the packages from:

    http://downloads.php.net/stas

The Windows team provides windows binaries for the release.
As always you find them at:

    http://windows.php.net/qa/

Please ensure that the release is solid and all things behave as
expected! Test the release candidate against your code base and report
any problems you encounter or successful tests you've run.

NOTE: Do not commit anything without asking Stas or me.

regards,
    Stas and David

I still have the following problem I'm experiencing with all release candidates since RC6:

$ /cygdrive/f/Programme/php-5.4.0RC8-nts-Win32-VC9-x86/php -r 'class A { function __wakeup() { echo "WAKEUP!"; }} var_dump(unserialize(serialize(new A())));'
object(A)#1 (0) {
}

(Hint: __wakeup() isn't called).

I cannot reproduce when I compile PHP myself, whether on Windows, Gentoo or Ubuntu, but it persists in the binaries the PHP group provides; I’m out of wisdom here, though a wild guess is some variable initializations are missing.

See also https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60919

This looks to be the same as https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60879.  Can you try the build I linked to in that report and see if it resolves this issue for you?
