The big news in the PHP ecosystem is the release of the stable version of PHP 7.0.0. This was officially released late yesterday and the response has already been great. Members of the PHP community (and some companies) have also posted about the release too:

• Christopher Jones on his Oracle blog
• A video announcement on the Laravel News site
• This post from thePHP.cc
• A post from Cal Evans on his blog
• A tutorial from SitePoint about PHP 7 and what's new
• A post over on InfoWorld
• The Zend Developer Zone cheer of "Viva la PHP 7 Revolución!"
• php[architect] thanking the community for all the work on PHP 7
• Thijs Feryn looking at the new features and functionality

These also come along with a whole host of tweets about the PHP 7 release too. If you have a post you'd like to have added to this list and I've just missed it, let me know and I'll drop it in!
