Back from Forum PHP Paris 2015.

First, a huge thanks to AFUP for the organization of this great event, as always, reception was beyond reproach.

This event was, once more, a great opportunity for many and rewarding meetings with lot of  PHP developers and users.

This year was exceptional, because PHP is 20 years old, AFUP is 15 years old and of course because of upcoming  PHP version 7:

I had the change to give a talk about collaboration between upstream (projects) and downstream (distribution) with an important part about QA management by the Fedora project.

Read the slides: Paris2015.pdf.

Feedback seems good, see joind.id.

I waiting for next meetings.

RPM of PHP version 5.6.16 are available in remi repository for Fedora ≥ 21 and  remi-php56 repository for Fedora ≤ 20 and Enterprise Linux (RHEL, CentOS).

Release Candidate versions are available in remi-test repository for Fedora and Enterprise Linux (RHEL / CentOS) to allow more people to test them. They are only available as Software Collections, for a parallel installation, perfect solution for such tests.

RPM of PHP version 5.6.16RC1 as SCL are available in remi-test repository for Fedora 19-23 and Enterprise Linux 6-7.

As PHP 5.5 is now in security mode only, there is no more RC.

Comme il a déjà été dit de nombreuses fois, PHP 7 est plus rapide que PHP 5.

Depuis PHPUnit 4.8 vous pouvez choisir entre  XDebug et phpdbg comme pilote pour récupérer les données de couverture du code, voir PHPUnit 4.8: Code Coverage Support.

Voici quelques résultats de tests de performance.

RPM of PHP version 5.6.15 are available in remi repository for Fedora ≥ 21 and  remi-php56 repository for Fedora ≤ 20 and Enterprise Linux (RHEL, CentOS).

Release Candidate versions are available in remi-test repository for Fedora and Enterprise Linux (RHEL / CentOS) to allow more people to test them. They are only available as Software Collections, for a parallel installation, perfect solution for such tests.

RPM of PHP version 5.6.15RC1 as SCL are available in remi-test repository for Fedora 19-23 and Enterprise Linux 6-7.

As PHP 5.5 is now in security mode only, there is no more RC.

GLPI (Free IT and asset management software) version 0.90 is available. RPM are available in remi repository for Fedora ≥ 18 and Enterprise Linux ≥ 5

As announced, PHP version 5.4.45 is the last official release of PHP 5.4

Which means that since version 5.5.30 and version 5.6.14 have been released, some security vulnerabilities are not, and won't be, fixed by the PHP project.

To keep a secure installation, the upgrade to a maintained version is strongly recommended:

• PHP 5.5 is in security support mode only (no other bug will be fixed) until July 2016.
• PHP 5.6 is in active support mode, and will be maintained until August 2017 December 2018.
• PHP 7.0 is in under development, in stabilization phase (Release Candidate) and should be released as stable quite soon.

• Migration guide from PHP 5.4.x to PHP 5.5.x
• Migration guide from PHP 5.5.x to PHP 5.6.x
• Migration guide from PHP 5.6.x to PHP 7.0.x

However, given the very important number of downloads by the users of my repository (~47%)  the version is still available in  remi repository for Enterprise Linux (RHEL, CentOS...) and Fedora (Software Collections) and includes the latest security fix.

Warning : this is a best effort action, depending of my spare time, without any warranty, only to give users more time to migrate. This can only be temporary, and upgrade must be the priority.
