Changes in PHPUnit 9.5

All notable changes of the PHPUnit 9.5 release series are documented in this file using the Keep a CHANGELOG principles.

9.5.5 - 2021-MM-DD

Changed

The test result cache (the storage for which is implemented in PHPUnit\Runner\DefaultTestResultCache) no longer uses PHP's serialize() and unserialize() function for persistence. It now uses a versioned JSON format instead that is independent of PHP implementation details (see #3581 and #4662 for examples why this is a problem). When PHPUnit tries to load the test result cache from a file that does not exist, or from a file that does not contain data in JSON format, or from a file that contains data in a JSON format version other than the one uses by the currently running PHPUnit version, then this is considered to be a "cache miss". An empty DefaultTestResultCache object is created in this case. This should also prevent PHPUnit from crashing when trying to load a test result cache file created by a different version of PHPUnit (see #4580 for example).
