v3.0.0

After a long wait, version 3.0 is finally declared stable.

All known bugs have been fixed.

PHP version requirements have been bumped up to 5.1.

The next version will most likely undergo some major changes, removing usage of global variables, introducing namespaces and other cleanups...

v3.0.0-beta

XML-RPC for PHP version 3.0.0 beta - 2009/09/05

This is the first release of the library to only support PHP 5.
Some legacy code has been removed, and support for features such as exceptions
and dateTime objects introduced.

The "beta" tag is meant to indicate the fact that the refactoring has been more widespread
than in precedent releases and that more changes are likely to be introduced with time -
the library is still considered to be production quality.

• improved: removed all usage of php functions deprecated in php 5.3, usage of assign-by-ref when creating new objects etc...
• improved: add support for the ex:nil/ tag used by the apache library, both in input and output
• improved: add support for dateTime objects in both in php_xmlrpc_encode and as parameter for constructor of xmlrpcval
• improved: add support for timestamps as parameter for constructor of xmlrpcval
• improved: add option 'dates_as_objects' to php_xmlrpc_decode to return dateTime objects for xmlrpc datetimes
• improved: add new method SetCurlOptions to xmrlpc_client to allow extra flexibility in tweaking http config, such as explicitly binding to an ip address
• improved: add new method SetUserAgent to xmrlpc_client to to allow having different user-agent http headers
• improved: add a new member variable in server class to allow fine-tuning of the encoding of returned values when the server is in 'phpvals' mode
• improved: allow servers in 'xmlrpcvals' mode to also register plain php functions by defining them in the dispatch map with an added option
• improved: catch exceptions thrown during execution of php functions exposed as methods by the server
• fixed: bad encoding if same object is encoded twice using php_xmlrpc_encode

v2.2.2

This release corrects all bugs that have been reported and sucesfully reproduced since
version 2.2.1.
Regardless of the intimitading message about dropping PHP 4 support, it still does
support that ancient, broken and insecure platform.

• fixed: php warning when receiving 'false' in a bool value
• fixed: improve robustness of the debugger when parsing weird results from non-compliant servers
• fixed: format floating point values using the correct decimal separator even when php locale is set to one that uses comma
• fixed: use feof() to test if socket connections are to be closed instead of the number of bytes read (rare bug when communicating with some servers)
• fixed: be more tolerant in detection of charset in http headers
• fixed: fix encoding of UTF8 chars outside of the BMP plane
• fixed: fix detection of zlib.output_compression
• improved: allow the add_to_map server method to add docs for single params too
• improved: added the possibility to wrap for exposure as xmlrpc methods plain php class methods, object methods and even whole classes
