By design, bug fix.

Methods with the same name as the last element of a namespaced class name will not be treated as constructor anymore. This change doesn't affect non-namespaced classes.

Use the recommended __construct instead.

@doc 

Can you check if it is in there already as well as in the manual?

Already documented at http://php.net/language.oop5.decon

As of PHP 5.3.3, methods with the same name as the last element of a namespaced class name will no longer be treated as constructor. This change doesn't affect non-namespaced classes.
