<simpara>
When garbage collection is triggered in a Fiber,
destructors called by the GC are executed in a separate Fiber:
the gc_destructor_fiber.
If this Fiber suspends, a new one is created to execute the remaining
destructors.
The previous gc_destructor_fiber is not referenced anymore by the GC
and may be collected if it's not referenced anywhere else.
Objects whose destructor is suspended will not be collected until the
destructor returns or the <classname>Fiber</classname> is collected.

The builtin server looks for an index file recursively by traversing parent
directories in case the specified file cannot be located.
This process was previously skipped if the path looked like it was
referring to a file, i.e. if the last path component contained a period.
In that case, a 404 error was returned.
The behavior has been changed to look for an index file in all cases.

<simpara>
The internal implementation for rounding to integers has been rewritten
to be easier to verify for correctness and to be easier to maintain.
Some rounding bugs have been fixed as a result of the rewrite.
For example previously rounding <literal>0.49999999999999994</literal>
to the nearest integer would have resulted in <literal>1.0</literal>
instead of the correct result <literal>0.0</literal>.
Additional inputs might also be affected and result in different outputs
compared to earlier PHP versions.
</simpara>
<simpara>
Fixed a bug caused by "pre-rounding" of the <function>round</function> function.
Previously, using "pre-rounding" to treat a value like <literal>0.285</literal>
(actually <literal>0.28499999999999998</literal>) as a decimal number
and round it to <literal>0.29</literal>.
However, "pre-rounding" incorrectly rounds certain numbers,
so this fix removes "pre-rounding" and changes the way numbers are compared,
so that the values are correctly rounded as decimal numbers.

The maximum precision that can be handled by <function>round</function>
has been extended by one digit.
For example, <code>round(4503599627370495.5)</code> returned in
<literal>4503599627370495.5</literal>,
but now returns <literal>4503599627370496</literal>.

<!-- RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/fix_up_bcmath_number_class -->
<simpara>
Casting a <classname>GMP</classname> object to <type>bool</type> is now
possible instead of emitting a <constant>E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR</constant>.
The casting behaviour is overloaded such that a <classname>GMP</classname>
object representing the value <literal>0</literal> is cast to &false;.

Improved the performance of floating point number parsing and formatting in
ZTS builds under highly concurrent loads.
This affects the <function>printf</function> family of functions as well
as serialization functions such as <function>json_encode</function>,
or <function>serialize</function>.
</simpara>
<simpara>
<function>sprintf</function> using only <literal>%s</literal> and
<literal>%d</literal> specifiers will be compiled into the equivalent
string interpolation, avoiding the overhead of a function call and
repeatedly parsing the format string.
