The following changes have been made to classes/functions/methods of this extension.
| Version | Function | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 5.6.3 | pack | The "q", "Q", "J" and "P" codes were added to enable working with 64-bit numbers. |
| 5.5.0 | pack | The "Z" code was added with equivalent functionality to "a" for Perl compatibility. |

| 5.3.0 | time_nanosleep | This function is now available on Windows platforms. |
| time_sleep_until | This function is now available on Windows platforms. | |
| 5.0.5 | php_check_syntax | This function was removed from PHP. |
