Hi, I am testing PHP 5.5 atm and how we can package it for Arch Linux and provide an upgrade path for users. The RC1 looks pretty solid so far.
As the new opcache does not provide a user cache to store custom variables, I would be glad if you could clarify what the best migration from 5.4 would be. * Is APC basically dead and wont support PHP 5.5? * Should APC users switch to opcache and APCu? (with APCu replacing the APC package) For PHP application developers: * Regarding APCu: it provides the old PHP interface function as well as their own apcu_* functions. They are aliases right now. Should application developers think about switching to the apcu_-API as new features will be available only here? Bonus question: * Right now very similar functionality is provided by APCu, XCache, WinCache, YAC etc.. Are there plans to include such functionality inside PHP in future to make application developers life a little easier? At least a common API would be great. There were several bugs in applications as these modules behave a little different regarding return values etc..
