- LAMP wasn't an accident
- Robustness, Performance and Security
- ♥ shared hosting ISPs

- Scaling up is expected

Other changes
- Upgraded from PCRE to PCRE2
- getallheaders() now available in php-fpm
- full case-mapping for mbstring
- preg_quote() now also escapes '#'
- new gmp functions: gmp_binomial, gmp_lcm, gmp_perfect_power, gmp_kronecker
- new JsonException
- default ftp transfer mode is now binary
Things that may break your code
- PCRE2 differences (should be rare)
- ODBCRouter and Birdstep support have been removed
- Various deprecations - see UPGRADING
