Hi!
- Added runtime JIT auto-globals fetching and caching. (Dmitry, Sara)
Does this change any semantics, etc? Any reason why it wasn't merged in the first place?
- Added "jump label" operator (limited "goto"). (Dmitry, Sara)
No strong opinion here, I didn't need it anyway :)
- Removed support for "continue" and "break" operators with non-constant operands. (Dmitry)
I'd wait for 6 with this. May break some scripts.
- Removed undocumented and incomplete support for strings in list() operator. (Dmitry)
Not sure here. What code does it break?
- Changed "instanceof" and "catch" operators, is_a() and is_subclass_of() functions to not call __autoload(). (Dmitry)
This definitely should be - there's absolutely no reason any kind on instanceof-like operator would call autoload. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: stas@zend.com
