PHP 5.5.0 feature freeze February 7th, 2013 – : : – APC possibly doomed
PHP 5.5.0 will reach a feature freeze is on February 7th, 2013, just two weeks away, for it’s first beta release.
There was some discussion of including the APC opcode cache into 5.5 but this will decidedly NOT happen because it would delay release by several months.
However in an interesting twist, there is now discussion of open-sourcing ZEND OPTIMIZER PLUS and including with PHP 5.5 instead.
Zend Optimizer+ is a commercial opcode cache for PHP and is slightly faster than APC but currently used on only a small percentage of servers compared to APC.
This essentially would doom APC, despite the suggestion it would remain available as there are only a few contributors to APC at this time and then would obviously switch to the zend optimizer+ sooner or later.
Remember, PHP 5.3 will reach end-of-life in March with the release of PHP 5.5.0
The rate of return against cost rises to 70%
if the homeowner does the job herself, although the
work often requires a level of expertise that is beyond the ability of
most do-it-yourselfers. While some maintenance can be
done by a homeowner, a good plumber or HVAC technician should be
consulted to make sure that your heating system will run efficiently during the next winter season
and for years to come. However, installing a bathroom in a basement
that hasn’t already been stubbed for a bathroom can be very difficult and costly.
