Updated HHVM fixes all currently known problems

We’ve updated our HHVM binary to the latest daily build. This build includes fixes for all currently known problems with HHVM.

The HHVM team fixed a lot (!) of things, but our HHVM guru Daniel Sloof fixed the specific problems below for us. Thanks for championing them, Daniel!

What’s new?

  1. Magento Connect now works properly under HHVM.
  2. When checking out, Magento now properly orders totals like it does under plain PHP.
  3. Big performance boosts for Magento: boolean checks on XML nodes are way faster. Remember all those .xml config files?
  4. The SOAP API now works properly under HHVM.
  5. Tax calculations on euvat now work properly.
  6. The iPhone extension for Magento now works properly (not Daniel’s fix, but still).

 

We’ve rolled out this update just now. Enjoy HHVM!
