+
+- Improved Zend Engine:
+  . Added "compact" handler for Zend MM storage. (Dmitry)
+  . Added "+" and "*" specifiers to zend_parse_parameters(). (Andrei)
+  . Added concept of "delayed early binding" that allows opcode caches to
+    perform class declaration (early and/or run-time binding) in exactly
+    the same order as vanilla PHP. (Dmitry)
+
+- Improved crypt() function: (Pierre)
+  . Added Blowfish and extended DES support. (Using Blowfish implementation
+    from Solar Designer).
+  . Made crypt features portable by providing our own implementations
+    for crypt_r and the algorithms which are used when OS does not provide
+    them. PHP implementations are always used for Windows builds.
+
+- Added new extensions:
+  . Added fileinfo extension as replacement for mime_magic extension. (Derick)
+  . Added intl extension for Internationalization. (Ed B., Vladimir I.,

+    and PDO_mysql. (Andrey, Johannes, Ulf)
+  . Added phar extension for handling PHP Archives. (Greg, Marcus, Steph)
+  . Added SQLite3 extension. (Scott)
+
+- Added new date/time functionality: (Derick)
+  . date_parse_from_format(): Parse date/time strings according to a format.
+  . date_create_from_format()/DateTime::createFromFormat(): Create a date/time
+    object by parsing a date/time string according to a given format.
+  . date_get_last_errors()/DateTime::getLastErrors(): Return a list of warnings
+    and errors that were found while parsing a date/time string through:
+    . strtotime() / new DateTime
+    . date_create_from_format() / DateTime::createFromFormat()
+    . date_parse_from_format().
+  . support for abbreviation and offset based timezone specifiers for
+    the 'e' format specifier, DateTime::__construct(), DateTime::getTimeZone()
+    and DateTimeZone::getName().
+  . support for selectively listing timezone identifiers by continent or
+    country code through timezone_identifiers_list() /
+    DateTimezone::listIdentifiers().
+  . timezone_location_get() / DateTimezone::getLocation() for retrieving
+    location information from timezones.
+  . date_timestamp_set() / DateTime::setTimestamp() to set a Unix timestamp
+    without invoking the date parser. (Scott, Derick)
+  . date_timestamp_get() / DateTime::getTimestamp() to retrieve the Unix
+    timestamp belonging to a date object.
+  . two optional parameters to timezone_transitions_get() /
+    DateTimeZone::getTranstions() to limit the range of transitions being
+    returned.
+  . support for "first/last day of <month>" style texts.
+  . support for date/time strings returned by MS SQL.
+  . support for serialization and unserialization of DateTime objects.
+  . support for diffing date/times through date_diff() / DateTime::diff().
+  . support for adding/subtracting weekdays with strtotime() and
+    DateTime::modify().
+  . DateInterval class to represent the difference between two date/times.
+  . support for parsing ISO intervals for use with DateInterval.
+  . date_add() / DateTime::add(), date_sub() / DateTime::sub() for applying an
+    interval to an existing date/time.
+  . proper support for "this week", "previous week"/"last week" and "next week"
+    phrases so that they actually mean the week and not a seven day period
+    around the current day.
+  . support for "<xth> <weekday> of" and "last <weekday> of" phrases to be used
+    with months - like in "last saturday of februari 2008".
+  . support for "back of <hour>" and "front of <hour>" phrases that are used in
+    Scotland.
+  . DatePeriod class which supports iterating over a DateTime object applying
+    DateInterval on each iteration, up to an end date or limited by maximum
+    number of occurences.
+
+- Added array_replace() and array_replace_recursive() functions. (Matt)
