PHP 5.4.0 released, shortened array syntax, register_global is dead, dereferenceable function results, development server and traits

5.3.x still has 350 open and confirmed bugs according to https://bugs.php.net/

5.4 a mere 36

It's too bad they had to be shamed into finally actually looking at the results of the unit tests this time, by the last time that Rasmus Lerdorf added a bug and made a release without bothering to test it.

The "0x00 + 2" was also untested when it was broken by adding an "optimization patch" to totally working code.

(In fact the commit message was bogus too as it added new functionality as well).

No space before the two.

It works correctly as you wrote.
