First of all, this seems to be just plagarism of http://www.making-the-web.com/2007/12/09/unofficial-php-6-ch... from December of 2007, bear this in mind when considering the reputation of tuvinh.com. (Unless of course tuvinh is Brendon, which seems unlikely since Brendon said he'd be updating the list and surely he thought of something in the ensuing 14 months, or perhaps "compiled this list" is construed as "copy and pasted")
Second I think the (original) list is a useful 60 second communication. It lets me know that essentially all existing, non-trivial PHP code will break at PHP6 and need to be fixed.
No, tuvinh isn't Brendon -- I'm Brendon. And yes, this is a plagarism. Don't you just hate it when someone does this? Doesn't even ask and doesn't change a single word (his title is better though ;)).
I have sent an email to the blog author asking him to remove it or credit it. It was thanks to you that I found out about it -- Trey Philips posted a comment saying someone here had said it was plagarised, and quickly enough I saw the blog post referring "unusual" amount of traffic. It's great how social communication on the internet works!
Pretty shallow overview - a list of minor syntax changes mostly. Not particularly helpful, I got my hopes up thinking I'd see some analysis of new features, etc. Then again I suppose the title does say 'one minute'.
While some of the changes like dropping register_globals and introducing UNICODE support were long overdue, the others make me fear they’ll eventually end up rendering PHP a Java look-alike. The essence of PHP is simplicity and getting things done, quickly and not to kiss up to some language paradigm.
