+PHP is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language
+that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded
+into HTML. It is modular, and object-oriented. Much of its syntax
+is borrowed from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific
+features thrown in. The language is designed to allow web developers
+to write dynamically generated pages quickly.
+
+This package provides PHP version 7.2.x.
+
+PHP 7.2.x builds upon 7.1.x, adding new features:
+
+* Argument type declarations
+* Object return type declarations
+* Parameter Type Widening
+* Trailing commas in list syntax
+* Argon2 in password hash
+* Libsodium as part of PHP Core
+* Deprecated: __autoload, $php_errormsg, create_function(),
+ mbstring.func_overload, parse_str() without second argument,
+ gmp_random(), each(), assert(), $errcontext
+* uniqid() patch to avoid usleep() integrated, 10000x improvement on NetBSD,
+ about 10x on Linux
