new features in 5.8 (Score:1)
On work servers and home I use 5.8.8 exclusively and have 5.10.0 installed at home.
For me main features of 5.8 is Unicode and open from/to string.

Unicode I look forward, it's a real pain to deal with in 5.6.x. You can sometimes cope with it in 5.6 but it's a lot of grief, not having to worry about it in 5.8 and above will greatly simplify my code.
