One issue that annoyed me was that a warning is now triggered if a time-related function is used without having set the timezone in 3 approved ways: the TZ environment variable, the date.timezone PHP directive or calling date_default_timezone_set(). Thankfully, Sean Finney made Debian's PHP quiet this warning - so PHP now relies on the system timezone (PHP was already able to use that as a last recourse, but considered it unreliable, for an obscure reason).
