On April 29th 2016, the PHP group published PHP 7.0.6.

This is a security release. Several security bugs were fixed in this release, including CVE-2016-3078 and CVE-2016-3074. All PHP 7.0 users are encouraged to upgrade to this version.

Packages of PHP 7.0.6 are now available for Debian 8 “Jessie” on amd64 and i386 architectures.

Please note that :

  • PHP 7 and PHP 5 from Jessie are now co-installable on the same machine
  • Packages of the following PECL extensions are now available : APCu, APCu_bc, geoip, igbinary, imagick, memcached, mongodb, msgpack, redis and xdebug. Careful, PHP 7 support from some of them is still very young.
  • The thread-safe version of all these packages will be published soon.
