None, but I'd still advocate releasing a new minor because there's
plenty of anecdata suggesting that our userbase tend to consider 5.x.y
and 5.x.y+z to be the same in terms of features. We used to see this
confusion in ##php a lot over things like crypt() algorithm support
changing over the course of 5.3: trying to explain that you don't want
to use anything before 5.3.7 is actually surprisingly difficult,
whereas saying "5.4 fixes this" is easy.
