Hi!
Before now each major (5.y+1) release introduced API changes. We just couldn't introduce literal tables, interned strings, etc without API changes.
I think by API there it means PHP-level API, i.e. one exposed to the user, not binary API exposed to the extensions, which is meant by ABI. So what should be preserved is PHP function signatures, classes, syntax, INI settings, etc. but internals can change.
