On April 16th 2015, the PHP group released PHP 5.6.8.

Several bugs have been fixed some of them beeing security related, like CVE-2015-1351 and CVE-2015-1352. All PHP 5.6 users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.

PHP 5.6.8 packages are now available on Dotdeb for Debian 7 “Wheezy”, on both amd64 and i386 architectures, in ZTS and non-ZTS (default) flavors.

Notes :

  • Regression : php5-memcached still lacks JSON support
  • Xcache, Xdebug and Xhprof are currently being worked on and should be available in the next few days
