Hello,
there was discussion, one or two weeks ago, about session module changes
being reverted to counter regressions with some session handler locking
issues. As I experienced slowdown probably related to that when testing
5.6.2 recently (using memcache session handler), I'm curious: are these
fixed in 5.6.3? There is no mention in the changelog.
best regards
Patrick

hi,
the session related reverts (which should be a minor slowdown as the
original feature was about not writing out the session when the contant did
not change during the request) did not make in time to be part of 5.6.3, so
expect it in 5.6.4.

I've asked this issue on this list and there wasn't much opinion.
I'm rather put the feature in PHP 7, since 3d party session save handler
module need to
adopt new API to get most out of it.
Since master has new code, I'll prepare new patch, hopefully soon.
