PHP 5.5.0 beta1 available 21-Mar-2013
The PHP development team announces the release of the first beta of PHP
5.5.0. This release is the first to include the Zend OPCache. Please
help our efforts to provide a stable PHP version and test this version
carefully against several different applications, with Zend OPCache
enabled and report any bug in the bug tracking system.
THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT PREVIEW - DO NOT USE IT IN PRODUCTION!
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS still has 5.3 which is officially outdated by php.net
and does not have traits and also no Closure::bindTo() which makes
closures useless as mixin properties via __invoke(). Already had an ugly
issue when local php 5.4 closure had access to instance $this while at
server running 5.3 it produced an error. Quite strange that closures did
not receive instance context in 5.3. And 5.2-style __get() based mixins
are slower. And because 12.04 LTS is so much conservative I still cannot
rely on 5.4 features in my projects (surely I can add ppa but it's not
always a desirable thing).
Also 5.4 had some Zend performance optimizations. But it seems they want
to move to 5.5 even faster than 5.3 to 5.4 transition.
