Note:
-----
as of version 7.4.2 php removed some bundled libraries which
adds new dependencies:
- the mbstring module depends on oniguruma now, to avoid
that dependency for several php ports I've created a new
port php-mbstring
- the zip module depends on libzip now, here we have a new
php-zip port
First release of the 5.5 series, see http://php.net/migration55
for important upgrade informations.
Potentially the deprecation of the /e modifier of preg_replace()
function might break some older scipts.
besides the version bump this release of opt/php* introduces some
changes which might require extra attention:
- sqlite3 is no longer a build-in driver but can be found in
opt/php-sqlite3 now
- the mbstring extension is now part of opt/php, the contrib port
php-mbstring is no longer required and will be removed
- opt/php-mysql includes the native and the PDO driver for mysql,
the contrib port php-pdo-mysql is no longer required and will be
removed
