Transcript of the Summary
Today we are going to start as usual by talking about the latest releases of PHP 5.6 the first update to PHP 7.0. I think by now there is already a new PHP 5.5 version, but it was released recently, I have not looked into it.
Anyway the next topic we'll cover is about a proposal that has been discussed lately which would allow NULL to be also accepted as an alternative to some type that is defined in type hinting for function parameters and return values.
Then we comment about the timeline that is being proposed for PHP 5. PHP 5 end of support will end some time this here but there was a proposal to extend it more towards the end of the year.
Then we have a new discussion, something that is not really about code, although it has code in the name, which is to adopt a code of conduct. I am not sure what motivated this proposal but this proposal is to address behavior of developers that is not appropriate.
Then we will talk briefly about a proposal to make libsodium, which is a cryptography library, part of the core in PHP 7.1.
Then we'll talk about exceptions, basically the possibility to have multiple catch statements to handle an exception, handle exceptions of different types.
Then finally we wil talk about an alternative syntax for the list statements which allows to process multiple values that are extract from an array, which eventually could be returned from a function.
