An interesting read if you're into PHP. Looks like the mysql_* deprecation indeed made it.
The choice to drop Windows XP support was pretty stupid, imo.

People still using a 12 year old OS probably don't care about the latest and greatest.
Function calls in empty() - hellz yeah!

And new cURL opts as well ^.^

The biggest update was probably adding generators, I wish they had added array comprehensions though. There were some rumours but it looks like they didn't add them after all.
The finally blocks will also come in handy in some situations too.

Finally mysql_* is deprecated, secure websites here we come :)
Function calls in empty() is awesome too.

Hopefully all hosts roll it out quickly when it is released.

Well I assume they'll feel quite silly when they find out it's deprecated :3

When I was in high school and they were teaching HTML (2009-ish), they were really rocking the <font> tag and tiled backgrounds.

Why? It's 12 years old. That's fucking ancient. Why should they continue putting effort into supporting an OS that was around before the internet exploded? There's no reason not to upgrade anymore. Can't afford 7? Awesome cause Linux is better anyway.
