What about PHP 6? I've looked recently on php.net, but there are no news about it over there.

https://wiki.php.net/rfc/php6 PHP 7 was voted to be the next version for the reasons stated on that page

They are calling the next version as PHP 7 instead of 6 to avoid confusion. http://www.internetnews.com/blog/skerner/is-php-6-or-php-7-n...

This does not sound like a very exciting feature. I understand its use and necessity, but it doens't sound that exciting for a language that is being accused of being "in the past."

Disclaimer: I currently do and have used for some time PHP at my job.

From your link

Some people use the PSL to determine what is a valid domain name and what isn't. This is dangerous, particularly in these days where new gTLDs are arriving at a rapid pace, if your software does not regularly receive PSL updates, because it will erroneously think new gTLDs are not valid.
