One of the world's most popular programming language, PHP, announced through Github, the availability of their latest version the PHP 5.5.0.

The new version is now ready for you to download and install and the source code is also ready for you to read. There are a lot of new features in the latest release.

The PHP 5.5.0 has acquired some "modern" features. You can now make use of generators to implement iteration over custom data. PHP also introduces the yield command, which is familiar from other languages.

Aside from the changes in generators, there are other things to learn about yield and the way it can be used to create sophisticated iterative solutions and manage asynchronous calls as a form of continuation passing.

Another important change is the new password hashing API. Given how important security is, the fact that it now takes one line to create a salted password.

Here are the major changes in PHP 5.5.0:

*** Added generators and coroutines.
*** Added the finally keyword.
*** Added a simplified password hashing API.
*** Added support for constant array/string dereferencing.
*** Added scalar class name resolution via ::class.
*** Added support for using empty() on the result of function calls and other expressions.
