Hi everyone,

first things first : thank you IUS team for all these amazing packages !
I'm using CentOS to host my customers' applications and IUS makes my life easier.

I was recently wondering why PHP 5.5 hasn't yet made it to the stable
repo, so here I am with a fresh Launchpad account, subscribed to this
bug.

Apart from this JSON thing, I understand you guys don't get enough feedback and don't have enough testers...
I benefit a lot from IUS, so I'd like to give back to the community and get involved to fill a tiny part of this gap.

I have a question that may seem stupid to experienced people like you :
how can I be a good tester ? What things should I test ? I only use your
PHP packages and I have a lot of PHP applications running in production,
so should I just upgrade some testing servers to 5.5 and see if my apps
run smoothly ? What data in particular should I give back ?

If everything runs well on php55u-testing, would something like "I have
this PHP app coded on top of framework X version Y running without
problems" be valuable to you ? Or should I just look for bugs I don't
get on previous PHP versions ? How do I know if this bug has something
to do with *your* packages and not 5.5 in general ?

I have a pretty good experience as a sysadmin but I've never been
involved in this kind of thing, so.. sorry for the newbie questions ! I
just want to bring something valuable to the table.

Bug description:
  PHP 5 ChangeLog

  Version 5.5.0

  20-Jun-2013
  Drop support for bison < 2.4 when building PHP from GIT source
  Improved Zend Engine:
  Added ARMv7/v8 versions of various Zend arithmetic functions that are implemented using inline assembler
  Added systemtap support by enabling systemtap compatible dtrace probes on linux
  Optimized access to temporary and compiled VM variables. 8% less memory reads
  The VM stacks for passing function arguments and syntaticaly nested calls were merged into a single stack. The stack size needed for op_array execution is calculated at compile time and preallocated at once. As result all the stack push operations don't require checks for stack overflow any more
  General improvement:
  Added generators and coroutines.
  Added "finally" keyword.
  Added simplified password hashing API.
  Added support for constant array/string dereferencing.
  Added Class Name Resolution As Scalar Via "class" Keyword
  Added support for using empty() on the result of function calls and other expressions
  Added support for non-scalar Iterator keys in foreach
  Added support for list in foreach
  Core:
  Added Zend Opcache extension and enable building it by default.
  Added array_column function which returns a column in a multidimensional array
  Added boolval()
  Added "Z" option to pack/unpack
  Added optional second argument for assert() to specify custom message
  Added support for changing the process's title in CLI/CLI-Server SAPIs. The implementation is more robust that the proctitle PECL module

  intl:
  Added UConverter wrapper.
  The intl extension now requires ICU 4.0+
  Added intl.use_exceptions INI directive, which controls what happens when global errors are set together with intl.error_level
  MessageFormatter::format() and related functions now accepted named arguments and mixed numeric/named arguments in ICU 4.8+
  MessageFormatter::format() and related functions now don't error out when an insufficient argument count is provided. Instead, the placeholders will remain unsubstituted
  MessageFormatter::parse() and MessageFormat::format() (and their static equivalents) don't throw away better than second precision in the arguments
  IntlDateFormatter::__construct and datefmt_create() now accept for the $timezone argument time zone identifiers, IntlTimeZone objects, DateTimeZone objects and NULL
  IntlDateFormatter::__construct and datefmt_create() no longer accept invalid timezone identifiers or empty strings
  The default time zone used in IntlDateFormatter::__construct and datefmt_create() (when the corresponding argument is not passed or NULL is passed) is now the one given by date_default_timezone_get(), not the default ICU time zone
  The time zone passed to the IntlDateFormatter is ignored if it is NULL and if the calendar passed is an IntlCalendar object -- in this case, the IntlCalendar's time zone will be used instead. Otherwise, the time zone specified in the $timezone argument is used instead. This does not affect old code, as IntlCalendar was introduced in this version
  IntlDateFormatter::__construct and datefmt_create() now accept for the $calendar argument also IntlCalendar objects
  IntlDateFormatter::getCalendar() and datefmt_get_calendar() return false if the IntlDateFormatter was set up with an IntlCalendar instead of the constants IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN/TRADITIONAL. IntlCalendar did not exist before this version
  IntlDateFormatter::setCalendar() and datefmt_set_calendar() now also accept an IntlCalendar object, in which case its time zone is taken. Passing a constant is still allowed, and still keeps the time zone
  IntlDateFormatter::setTimeZoneID() and datefmt_set_timezone_id() are deprecated. Use IntlDateFormatter::setTimeZone() or datefmt_set_timezone() instead
  IntlDateFormatter::format() and datefmt_format() now also accept an IntlCalendar object for formatting
  Added the classes: IntlCalendar, IntlGregorianCalendar, IntlTimeZone, IntlBreakIterator, IntlRuleBasedBreakIterator and IntlCodePointBreakIterator

  Added the functions: intltz_create_time_zone(), intltz_create_default(), intltz_get_id(), intltz_get_gmt(), intltz_get_unknown(), intltz_create_enumeration(), intltz_count_equivalent_ids(), intltz_create_time_zone_id_enumeration(), intltz_get_canonical_id(), intltz_get_region(), intltz_get_tz_data_version(), intltz_get_equivalent_id(), intltz_use_daylight_time(), intltz_get_offset(), intltz_get_raw_offset(), intltz_has_same_rules(), intltz_get_display_name(), intltz_get_dst_savings(), intltz_from_date_time_zone(), intltz_to_date_time_zone(), intltz_get_error_code(), intltz_get_error_message()
  Added the methods: IntlDateFormatter::formatObject(), IntlDateFormatter::getCalendarObject(), IntlDateFormatter::getTimeZone(), IntlDateFormatter::setTimeZone()
  Added the functions: datefmt_format_object(), datefmt_get_calendar_object(), datefmt_get_timezone(), datefmt_set_timezone(), datefmt_get_calendar_object(), intlcal_create_instance()
