Todos
RM stuff
- Make sure that we don't have unintentional BC breaks, and every change is mentioned in the appropriate place (NEWS/UPGRADING/etc.).
- Work together with the documentation team, so the docs are already up to date when the final 5.6.0 is released.
- Make sure that the credits are up-to-date(ext/standard/credits.c, ext/standard/credits_ext.h, ext/standard/credits_sapi.h).
Engine
- Engine changes should be reported to Zend team for OPCache patching if needed (ping dmitry/laruence).
Core
- Merge UTF-8 IO support for Windows patch (this is still not done, I think this should wait for the next version)
- Sort out the unserialize issue(provide an upgrade path for phpunit and co.).
Extensions
Sqlite
- Update to latest sqlite3 (3.8.0.2+)
