You mean like the list in NEWS.Debian?
php7.0 (7.0.3-6) unstable; urgency=medium
* Several extensions have been split into separate extension packages:
- php-dba - Database (dbm-style) Abstraction Layer
- php-mbstring - Multibyte String
- php-soap - SOAP
- php-xml - DOM, SimpleXML, WDDX, XML, XMLReader and XMLWriter
- php-zip - Zip
* The new packages are not installed automatically, so you will need
to
install them by hand, if you use the functions in those modules.
* Most modules that have been builtin before are now included in
php7.0-common package and they are enabled by default for your
convenience. You can disable unneede modules via phpdismod tool.
