I know it's 50-50 at least one of these items will change before my mail reaches the list, but here's version 4 for your perusal. Note: I have type hints for arrays down as being 'still under discussion' - this isn't actually ready to go. I've thrown out new features such as the Zend VM execution modes (and am still debating whether to throw out default class type hints) because they should be covered elsewhere, and I haven't done anything about replaced extensions (e.g. w32api => ffi) because they should be covered in the manual. I've some fear of terrifying would-be upgraders with an unnecessarily long list here :) Please be critical. Thanks, - Steph

Hi Steph, Maybe in section 4, explain what the result of the change is. You explain what was wrong in the past, but don't really cover what the new behavior is. Bob
