The only definitive thing is the Zend Engine 2 draft and the
current ZE2 implementation in the CVS repository. The first
can be found at zend.com/engine2 if I'm not mistaked (if not
use google), the latter resides in the cvs.php.net tree
(browsable).
Besides the major ZE2 changes, nothing has yet been decided
what is 'to be new' in PHP5 (from what I gathered since the
introduction of the work began on ZE2).
