It includes the changes for version 5.5.5, which hasn't been released.


>From the NEWS file:

Version 6.0.0

* Apache or IIS PHP scripts can now use "java_virtual()" to include
  the output of JSP scripts, Java servlets or Java frameworks into PHP
  pages.

* MS .NET support has been removed: The "MonoBridge.exe" is not
  available anymore.

* Support for GNU "Java", GNU Autoconf/Makefile has been removed: The
  only remaining targets "JavaBridgeTemplate.war" and "JavaBridge.war"
  can now be build by a java "ant" build script.

* FreeBSD support has been removed: The "unix domain" socket channel
  (implemented by a JNI "libnatcJavaBridge.so") cannot be used
  anymore, therefore the bridge will be very slow on this operating
  system kernel. FreeBSD users must use local TCP sockets and switch
  off the Nagle algorithm or fix their kernel or add a TCP_NDELAY
  option to the PHP streams implementation.

* Dynamic class loading has been removed: The java_require() procedure
  is not available anymore. Please use standard JEE or servlet
  autodeployment instead.

* Support for the Tomcat "CGIServlet.java" has been removed: PHP must
  support the FastCGI SAPI. PHP >= 5.2.0 support the FastCGI SAPI by
  default. If you have a php-cgi binary < version 5.2.0, recompile it
  with the --enable-fastcgi option. The FastCGI servlet has been
  rewritten to support HTTP/1.1 chunked connections and the
  "WebSockets" protocol used by google "Chrome".

* The named pipe communication channel has been removed: On Security
  Enhanced Linux please use HTTP/1.1 chunked connections instead.

* The servlet or JEE back end must support HTTP/1.1 chunked
  connections or the communication will fail. This has been tested on
  the following AS: Glassfish, Jetty 7, Tomcat, Oracle/BEA WebLogic, Sun
  AS 9.

* The low-level protocol has not been changed. But due to the above
  changes an old "Java.inc" might not work with a new JavaBridge.war
  back end anymore. Please make sure to upgrade your "Java.inc" PHP
  library.


Version 5.5.5

* PHP scripts running within a JEE server can now use PHP paths like:

    .../MOODLE/dir/do.php/something?with=what

  This feature can be switched off by removing the <filter> and
  <filter-mapping> from the web application web.xml.

* PHP scripts running within a JEE server now use java.io.tmpdir as
  their the session.save_path. This can be changed as usual, see
  php.java.bridge.global.properties PHP_EXEC_ARGS. Use
  Util.DEFAULT_PHP_ARGS as a template.

* A beta test version of the PHPDebugger is now part of the PHP/Java
  Bridge.
