Truth be told, they both targeted master, not a specific PHP version. master has become PHP 7, so whatever the wording of them said, they really target PHP 7 now. They were written back before the whole PHP 7/phpng thing when I didn’t know whether we were going to go straight to PHP 7 or whether there’d be another minor and then PHP 7 a year or two after. Now we’re going straight to PHP 7 - the 5.7 proposed wouldn’t be an exception to that, as 5.7 would have no new features and be released around the same time. It’s not, well, the 5.7 I had in mind when I wrote those RFCs. Filtered unserialize() and 64-bit pack/unpack targeted 5.6 micro releases, not 5.7. I don’t really know about the session handling and GC ones. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
