Latest PECL Releases:igbinary 3.1.0b3 * Skip over object properties that are uninitialized or unset when serializing, instead of serializing them as null. This is done to avoid Errors when unserializing their values for php 7.4 typed properties. ev 1.0.8 - Fixed build warnings with PHP 7.4.0-alpha1: 'incompatible pointer type' warnings occurred in assignments to the write property handlers (thanks to Remi Collet). - Re-fixed the Windows build errors related to errno in a way that the libev sources are left pristine. (The root of the issue is actually rooted in the PHP code where the errno macro is re-defined.) xdebug 2.9.0 Mon, Dec 9, 2019 - xdebug 2.9.0 Improvements: Fixed issue #1723: Class/function pre-analysis for code coverage speed improvements Removed features: Fixed issue #1301: Removed aggregated profiler feature Fixed issue #1720: Remove superfluous xdebug.remote_handler setting = Fixed bugs: Fixex issue #1722: Build warning issues on FreeBSD Fixed issue #1724: Missing property types and uninitialised values in variable dumping routines skywalking 3.2.4 Support php7.4 igbinary 3.1.0b2 * Fix crashes related to unserializing instances of classes with php 7.4 typed properties. igbinary 3.1.0b1 * Support php 7.4's __serialize/__unserialize the same way serialize()/unserialize() does. This deliberately only supports __serialize/__unserialize in php 7.4, to making switching to/from serialize()/unserialize() as straightforward as possible. rdkafka 4.0.1 BREAKING CHANGE: Since version 4.0, the client no longer polls for network events at shutdown (during object destructor). This behaviour didn't give enough control to the user in case of server issue, and could cause the script to hang while terminating. Starting from 4.0, programs MUST call flush() before shutting down, otherwise some messages and callbacks may be lost.
