The release also adds support for closures in constant expressions and final property promotion in constructors, while deprecating older type casting syntax.

Game changer? Why? Big step - agree, but game changer - totally not. It is minor update with cool features.

good to see PHP improving bit by bit… I think new php projects going to benefit from this.
