The first stable release of the new binary SDK has arrived

https://github.com/OSTC/php-sdk-binary-tools/releases/tag/php-sdk-2.0.0

The pre stable versions was already used for a while with AppVeyor for 7.x =
builds and master snapshots. Further integration with PHP master, PECL buil=
d bot and other build tools is happening next.=20

The documentation is available in the github repository and on the new wiki=
 page
