PHP 5.5.3, for Debian 7.0 “Wheezy”

On August 22nd 2013, the PHP group has released PHP 5.5.3. Since the previously-packaged PHP 5.5.1 version, about 20 bugs were fixed, including security issue in OpenSSL module (CVE-2013-4248) and session fixation problem (CVE-2011-4718).

As a consequence, PHP 5.5.3 packages are now available on Dotdeb for Debian 7.0 “Wheezy”, on both amd64 and i386 architectures, with the following changes :

  • each SAPI (apache2, apache2filter, CLI, CGI, FPM, embed) has now its own /etc/php5/SAPI/conf.d/ subdirectory, not just a symlink to a common one, so it can have its own list of activated modules (it involved some more tests, so sorry for the delay),
  • the php5-mongo package is now available, allowing you interacting with MongoDB servers,
  • the php5-fpm init script now reports syntax errors with full error messages.

Please read the Changelog and the migration guide (be aware of the backward incompatible changes) before upgrading.

Last but not least, if you find Dotdeb useful, you may want to show your support.

Redis 2.6.16

Redis 2.6.16 has been released, bringing the following changes (take a look at the Changelog) :

  • [FIX] Stop writes when fork() fails when trying to BGSAVE. BGSAVE errors were trapped only in the case the saving child failed, so the fork() error was no trapped as no child is created at all.
  • [FIX] Fix a serious memory efficiency regression, Redis 2.6.16 is significantly better with large values (>= a few kbytes) and will be able to store two times the amount of data compared to Redis 2.6.15 when values are in that range.
  • [FIX] Fixed an issue with Table conversion in the lua-cmsgpack library exposed by the Redis scripting engine.
  • [NEW] DEBUG SDSLEN was introduced to debug memory inefficiencies due to SDS allocation more easily.

The upgrade urgency is moderate.

The packages are now available for both Debian 7.0 “Wheezy” and Debian 6.0 “Squeeze” on both amd64 and i386 architectures.
