HHVM 4.101 is released! This release marks the end of support for 4.95; HHVM 4.96–4.100 remain supported, as do the 4.56 and 4.80 LTS releases.

Highlights

• ‘Variable $x is undefined, or not always defined’ errors will no longer suggest non-denotable internal variable names, such as $0splice0

Breaking Changes

• The typechecker now checks that switch($x) is exhaustive for enum classes, not just for normal enums; the runtime continues to require that either a case matches, or there is a default case.
• array_slice() no longer converts int-like string keys to ints
• hhbbc now always runs in repo-authoritative mode

Future Changes

• Hack arrays: in the next 2-8 weeks, we expect to make varray an alias for vec, and darray an alias for dict; varray and darray will no longer be distinct types to Hack arrays. This will also affect the runtime implementation of shapes and tuples, which are currently implemented with darrays and varrays respectively. You can test this behavior now with the hhvm.hack_arr_dv_arrs=1 ini setting.
