HHVM 4.31 is released! This release marks the end of support for 4.25; 4.26–4.30 remain supported, as do the LTS releases 3.30 and 4.8.

Highlights

• Added new HH\Lib\SQL\Query object, and AsyncMysqlConnection::queryAsync() method; this is an alternative to ::queryf(). Query objects:
  • are constructed with a queryf-style format string and a list of parameters
  • accept vec<>s instead of Vector<>s
  • add support for the %Q placeholder, which accepts another Query object; this allows much more flexibility, such as concatenating queries with $ab = new Query('%Q %Q', $a, $b)
• Fixed incorrect ‘out of memory’ errors in hh_server when posix_fallocate fails with EINTR

Breaking Changes

• Removed typechecker special-casing of HH\Tuple\from_async() and HH\Asio\va(); ideally, these should be replaced with concurrent blocks, or, if a tuple is actually desired, tuple(await foo(), await bar()) can be used instead
• Removed HH\Asio\va()’s typechecker definition as it is no longer useful
• ldap_mod_(del|replace|modify) now take a darray entry argument
• the (unset) cast has been removed. Use the null literal instead
• unserialize()ing a PHP array will now create a varray or darray
