News and Releases

• PHP 7.0.0 RC 3 - The release contains fixes for 19 bugs and a total of more than 100 commits with various improvements. A new feature, Opcache, is also implemented, which allows you to move PHP code segments to huge pages . To enable, you must set the flag opcache.huge_code_page=1 in php.ini . This can give a performance boost of up to 2% on supported platforms.
  The next release of RC 4 is scheduled for October 1st.
• Release Phalcon 2.1.0 beta 1
• Updated JetBrains Toolbox Terms - After a wave of criticism about changing the policy of purchasing licenses for PhpStorm and other products, JetBrains was forced to listen to the requirements. Users have achieved their goal, and now when paying a year in advance or 12 months in a row, the license becomes perpetual (without updates), as before.
