+	b. Lowercasing and locales
+
+The lowercasing functions in zend_operators.c were split into those that do 
+lowercasing according to locale rules and those that do ASCII lowercasing.
+ASCII:
+
+                zend_str_tolower_copy
+                zend_str_tolower_dup
+                zend_str_tolower
+                zend_binary_strcasecmp
+                zend_binary_strncasecmp
+
+Locale-based:
+                zend_binary_strncasecmp_l
+                zend_binary_strcasecmp_l
+                zend_binary_zval_strcasecmp
+                zend_binary_zval_strncasecmp
+                string_compare_function_ex
+                string_case_compare_function
+
+Internal engine lowercasing will be using ASCII-only rules. User-facing functions,
+such as strcasecmp, will be using locale rules. 
+
+Two new functions - zend_binary_strncasecmp_l and zend_binary_strcasecmp_l - added as 
+locale-based counterparts to zend_binary_strcasecmp and zend_binary_strncasecmp.
