Sara, shouldn't it be merged into the branches PHP-5.4, PHP-5.5 as well as PHP-5.6 and shouldn't there an info in the NEWS file? It's currently only merged to master. Marc
There might be an argument against adding to 5.4 and 5.5 in that code may now give slightly different results from before, and it’s not really a bugfix as there was no bug.
Sure, the results can be a little bit different and it's not a bug but the results will be more correct a it was before and there is fully backwards compatible as nobody hears on a very small and rounded value. I don't see any reason to wait for PHP-7 and I also don't see any reason to not integrate it into PHP-5.4 to PHP-5.6
