[slackware-security]  php (SSA:2016-034-04)

New php packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, and -current to
fix security issues.


Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/php-5.6.17-i486-1_slack14.1.txz:  Upgraded.
  This release fixes bugs and security issues.
  *****************************************************************
  * IMPORTANT:  READ BELOW ABOUT POTENTIALLY INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES *
  *****************************************************************
  PHP 5.4.x has been declared EOL (end of life) and is no longer receiving
  upstream support.  PHP 5.5.x is also no longer on active support status and
  security fixes will continue only until 5 months from now.  For this reason
  we have provided PHP 5.6 packages as security updates.  Be aware that PHP
  5.6 is not 100% compatible with PHP 5.4, and some changes may be required
  to existing web pages written for PHP 5.4.
  For information on how to migrate from PHP 5.4, please see:
        https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration56.php
  The final PHP 5.4 packages may be found in /pasture in case there is a need
  to revert this update.
