This is so far all information is available on php.net this topic (post) will be updated as soon as more complete information appears

Our development team has already downloaded this version and installed it on an in-office server for testing.

Unfortunately, our CodeIgniter framework, which is regularly used in development, does not work on this version of PHP, since the function for working with regular expressions was excluded (removed ereg, left preg_match).

UPD: The problem with CodeIgniter is removed in CodeIgniter 1.7.2, the developers of the framework solved this problem and everything now works like a clock.

Download CodeIgniter 1.7.2
