1 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.5.0 - 2020/12/31
3 * new: it is now possible to control the precision used when serializing DOUBLE values via usage of
4 `PhpXmlRpc::$xmlpc_double_precision`
6 * fixed: `Encoder::encode` would not correctly encode DateTime and DateTimeImmutable objects
8 * improvements to to the Helper\Date class in rejecting invalid date strings
10 * improvements to the Wrapper class in identifying the required arguments types from phpdoc: support 'array[]',
11 'DateTime' and 'DateTimeImmutable'
13 * improvements to the support of the XMLRPC extension emulation (as provided by the phpxmlrpc/polyfill-xmlrpc package)
15 * improvements in the inline phpdoc: tagged many methods and class member as for internal usage only
17 * minor improvements in the debugger to allow easier integration of phpxmlrpc/jsonrpc and friends
19 * removed obsolete files from the 'extras' directory and updated the demo perl and python files
22 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.4.3 - 2020/12/17
24 * fixed: compatibility with PHP 8.0 (fixes to the debugger, to the server's 'system.methodHelp' method and to the
25 PhpXmlRpc\Wrapper class).
26 Note that method `Value::structeach` has not been removed from the API, but it is _not_ supported when running
27 on PHP 8.0 or later - in that case it will always throw an Error.
29 * improvements to the test stack: it is now possible to run it via Docker besides Travis; avoid using _any_ external
30 server when running tests; run Travis tests also on php 8.0; bump PHPUnit versions in use
33 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.4.2 - 2020/3/4
35 * fixed: `client->setCookie()` bug: cookie values that contain spaces are now properly encoded in a way that gets them
36 decoded back to spaces on the receiving end if the server running on php 7.4 (or does RFC-compliant cookie decoding).
37 Beforehand we were encoding spaces to '+' characters.
40 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.4.1 - 2019/7/29
42 * fixed: allow handling huge xml messages (>=10MB) (issue #71)
44 * improved: make it easier to overtake the library's usage of `error_log`
47 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.3.2 - 2019/5/27
49 * fixed: remove one php 7.2 warning when using the v3 api
51 * improved: the Travis tests are now run with all php versions from 5.6 to 7.3. We dropped tests with php 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5
54 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.3.1 - 2018/1/20
56 * fixed: error when using https in non-curl mode
58 * fixed: compatibility of tests with php 7.2
60 * fixed: html injection in sample code
62 * fixed: warnings emitted by the *legacy* server in xmlrpcs.inc
64 * fixed: encoding of php variables of type 'resource' when using xmlrpc_encode in php-compatibility mode
66 * fixed: bad html tag in sample code
68 * improved: text of error messages
71 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.3.0 - 2017/11/6
73 * fixed: compatibility with Basic/Digest/NTLM auth when using client in cURL mode (issue #58)
75 * improved: added unit tests for Basic and Digest http auth. Also improved tests suite
77 * new: allow to force usage of curl for http 1.0 calls, as well as plain socket for https calls, via the method
78 `Client::setUseCurl()`
81 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.2.2 - 2017/10/15
83 * fixed: compatibility with Lighttpd target servers when using client in cURL mode and request body size > 1024 bytes (issue #56)
86 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.2.1 - 2017/9/3
88 * fixed: compatibility with php 7.2 (issue #55)
91 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.2.0 - 2017/6/30
93 * improved: allow also DateTimeImmutable objects to be detected as a date when encoding
96 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.1.1 - 2016/10/1
98 * fixed: error in server class: undefined function php_xmlrpc_encode (only triggered when not using the compatibility
99 shim with old versions)
102 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.1.0 - 2016/6/26
104 * improved: Added support for receiving <I8> and <EX:I8> integers, sending <I8>
106 If php is compiled in 32 bit mode, and an i8 int is received from a 3rd party, and error will be emitted.
107 Integers sent from the library to 3rd parties can be encoded using the i8 tag, but default to using 'int' by default;
108 the developer will have to create values as i8 explicitly if needed.
109 The library does *not* check if an outgoing integer is too big to fit in 4 bytes and convert it to an i8 automatically.
112 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.0.1 - 2016/3/27
114 * improved: all of the API documentation has been moved out of the manual and into the source code phpdoc comments
116 * fixed: when the internal character set is set to UTF-8 and the client sends requests (or the server responses), too
117 many characters were encoded as numeric entities, whereas some, like åäö, needed not not be
119 * fixed: the 'valtyp' property of Response was not present in all cases; the ValType property had been added by error
123 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.0.0 - 2016/1/20
125 This release does away with the past and starts a transition to modern-world php.
127 Code has been heavily refactored, taking care to preserve backwards compatibility as much as possible,
128 but some breackage is to be expected.
130 The minimum required php version has been increased to 5.3, even though we strongly urge you to use
131 more recent versions.
133 PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE NOTES BELOW to insure a smooth upgrade.
135 * new: introduction of namespaces and full OOP.
137 All php classes have been renamed and moved to separate files.
138 Class autoloading can now be done in accord with the PSR-4 standard.
139 All global variables and global functions have been removed.
140 Iterating over xmlrpc value objects is now easier thank to support for ArrayAccess and Traversable interfaces.
142 Backward compatibility is maintained via lib/xmlrpc.inc, lib/xmlrpcs.inc and lib/xmlrpc_wrappers.inc.
143 For more details, head on to doc/api_changes_v4.md
145 * changed: the default character encoding delivered from the library to your code is now utf8.
146 It can be changed at any time setting a value to PhpXmlRpc\PhpXmlRpc::$xmlrpc_internalencoding
148 * improved: the library now accepts requests/responses sent using other character sets than UTF-8/ISO-8859-1/ASCII.
149 This only works when the mbstring php extension is enabled.
151 * improved: no need to call anymore $client->setSSLVerifyHost(2) to silence a curl warning when using https
152 with recent curl builds
154 * improved: the xmlrpcval class now supports the interfaces Countable and IteratorAggregate
156 * improved: a specific option allows users to decide the version of SSL to use for https calls.
157 This is useful f.e. for the testing suite, when the server target of calls has no proper ssl certificate,
158 and the cURL extension has been compiled with GnuTLS (such as on Travis VMs)
160 * improved: the function wrap_php_function() now can be used to wrap closures (it is now a method btw)
162 * improved: all wrap_something() functions now return a closure by default instead of a function name
164 * improved: debug messages are not html-escaped any more when executing from the command line
166 * improved: the library is now tested using Travis ( https://travis-ci.org/ ).
167 Tests are executed using all php versions from 5.3 to 7.2; code-coverage information
168 is generated using php 5.6 and uploaded to both Code Coverage and Scrutinizer online services
170 * improved: phpunit is now installed via composer, not bundled anymore
172 * improved: when phpunit is used to generate code-coverage data, the code executed server-side is accounted for
174 * improved: the test suite has basic checks for the debugger and demo files
176 * improved: more tests in the test suite
178 * fixed: the server would not reset the user-set debug messages between subsequent service() calls
180 * fixed: the server would not reset previous php error handlers when an exception was thrown by user code and
181 exception_handling set to 2
183 * fixed: the server would fail to decode a request with ISO-8859-1 payload and character set declaration in the xml
186 * fixed: the client would fail to decode a response with ISO-8859-1 payload and character set declaration in the xml
189 * fixed: the function decode_xml() would not decode an xml with character set declaration in the xml prolog
191 * fixed: the client can now successfully call methods using ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8 characters in their name
193 * fixed: the debugger would fail sending a request with ISO-8859-1 payload (it missed the character set declaration).
194 It would have a hard time coping with ISO-8859-1 in other fields, such as e.g. the remote method name
196 * fixed: the debugger would generate a bad payload via the 'load method synopsis' button for signatures containing NULL
197 or undefined parameters
199 * fixed: the debugger would generate a bad payload via the 'load method synopsis' button for methods with multiple
202 * improved: the debugger is displayed using UTF-8, making it more useful to debug any kind of service
204 * improved: echo all debug messages even when there are characters in them which php deems to be in a wrong encoding;
205 previously those messages would just disappear (this is visible e.g. in the debugger)
207 * changed: debug info handling
208 - at debug level 1, the rebuilt php objects are not dumped to screen (server-side already did that)
209 - at debug level 1, curl communication info are not dumped to screen
210 - at debug level 1, the tests echo payloads of failures; at debug level 2 all payloads
212 * improved: makefiles have been replaced with a php_based pakefile
214 * improved: the source for the manual is stored in asciidoc format, which can be displayed natively by GitHub
215 with nice html formatting. Also the HTML version generated by hand and bundled in tarballs is much nicer
216 to look at than previous versions
218 * improved: all php code is now formatted according to the PSR-2 standard
221 XML-RPC for PHP version 3.0.0 - 2014/6/15
223 This release corrects all bugs that have been reported and successfully reproduced since
226 The requirements have increased to php 5.1.0 - which is still way older than what you should be running for any serious
229 It also is the first release to be installable via composer.
231 See the Changelog file or the pdf docs for a complete list of changes.
234 XML-RPC for PHP version 3.0.0 beta - 2009/09/05
236 This is the first release of the library to only support PHP 5.
237 Some legacy code has been removed, and support for features such as exceptions
238 and dateTime objects introduced.
240 The "beta" tag is meant to indicate the fact that the refactoring has been more widespread
241 than in precedent releases and that more changes are likely to be introduced with time -
242 the library is still considered to be production quality.
244 * improved: removed all usage of php functions deprecated in php 5.3, usage of assign-by-ref when creating new objects
246 * improved: add support for the <ex:nil/> tag used by the apache library, both in input and output
247 * improved: add support for dateTime objects in both in php_xmlrpc_encode and as parameter for constructor of xmlrpcval
248 * improved: add support for timestamps as parameter for constructor of xmlrpcval
249 * improved: add option 'dates_as_objects' to php_xmlrpc_decode to return dateTime objects for xmlrpc datetimes
250 * improved: add new method SetCurlOptions to xmrlpc_client to allow extra flexibility in tweaking http config, such as
251 explicitly binding to an ip address
252 * improved: add new method SetUserAgent to xmrlpc_client to to allow having different user-agent http headers
253 * improved: add a new member variable in server class to allow fine-tuning of the encoding of returned values when the
254 server is in 'phpvals' mode
255 * improved: allow servers in 'xmlrpcvals' mode to also register plain php functions by defining them in the dispatch map
257 * improved: catch exceptions thrown during execution of php functions exposed as methods by the server
258 * fixed: bad encoding if same object is encoded twice using php_xmlrpc_encode
261 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.2.2 - 2009/03/16
263 This release corrects all bugs that have been reported and sucesfully reproduced since
265 Regardless of the intimidating message about dropping PHP 4 support, it still does
266 support that ancient, broken and insecure platform.
269 * fixed: php warning when receiving 'false' in a bool value
270 * fixed: improve robustness of the debugger when parsing weird results from non-compliant servers
271 * fixed: format floating point values using the correct decimal separator even when php locale is set to one that uses
273 * fixed: use feof() to test if socket connections are to be closed instead of the number of bytes read (rare bug when
274 communicating with some servers)
275 * fixed: be more tolerant in detection of charset in http headers
276 * fixed: fix encoding of UTF8 chars outside of the BMP plane
277 * fixed: fix detection of zlib.output_compression
278 * improved: allow the add_to_map server method to add docs for single params too
279 * improved: added the possibility to wrap for exposure as xmlrpc methods plain php class methods, object methods and
283 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.2.1 - 2008/03/06
285 This release corrects all bugs that have been reported and sucesfully reproduced.
286 It is the last release of the library that will support PHP 4.
288 * fixed: work around bug in php 5.2.2 which broke support of HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA
289 * fixed: is_dir parameter of setCaCertificate() method is reversed
290 * fixed: a php warning in xmlrpc_client creator method
291 * fixed: parsing of '1e+1' as valid float
292 * fixed: allow errorlevel 3 to work when prev. error handler was a static method
293 * fixed: usage of client::setcookie() for multiple cookies in non-ssl mode
294 * improved: support for CP1252 charset is not part or the library but almost possible
295 * improved: more info when curl is enabled and debug mode is on
298 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.2 - 2007/02/25
300 This release corrects a couple of bugs and adds a few minor features.
302 * fixed: debugger errors on php installs with magic_quotes_gpc on
303 * fixed: support for https connections via proxy
304 * fixed: wrap_xmlrpc_method() generated code failed to properly encode php objects
305 * improved: slightly faster encoding of data which is internally UTF-8
306 * improved: debugger always generates a 'null' id for jsonrpc if user omits it
307 * new: debugger can take advantage of a graphical value builder
308 (it has to be downloaded separately, as part of jsxmlrpc package)
309 * new: support for the <NIL/> xmlrpc extension
310 * new: server support for the system.getCapabilities xmlrpc extension
311 * new: wrap_xmlrpc_method() accepts two new options: debug and return_on_fault
314 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.1 - 2006/08/28
316 This release corrects quite a few bugs and adds some interesting new features.
317 There is a minor security enhancement and overall speedup too.
319 It has been tested with PHP 4.0.5 up to 4.4.4 and 5.1.5.
320 Please note that 404pl1 is NOT supported, and has not been since 2.0.
322 *** PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BELOW ***
324 CHANGES THAT MIGHT AFFECT DEPLOYED APPLICATIONS:
326 The wrap_php_function and wrap_xmlrpc_method functions have been moved out of
327 the base library file xmlrpc.inc into a file of their own: xmlrpc_wrappers.inc.
328 You will have to include() / require() it in your scripts if you have been using
331 For increased security, the automatic rebuilding of php object instances out of
332 received xmlrpc structs in wrap_xmlrpc_method() has been disabled (but it can be
333 optionally reenabled).
335 The constructor of xmlrpcval() values has seen major changes, and it will not
336 throw a php warning anymore when invoked using an unknown xmlrpc type: the
337 error will only be written to php error log. Also new xmlrpcval('true', 'boolean')
338 is not supported anymore.
342 The new function php_xmlrpc_decode_xml() will take the xml representation of
343 either an xmlrpc request, response or single value and return the corresponding
344 php-xmlrpc object instance.
346 Both wrap_php_function() and wrap_xmlrpc_method() functions accept many more
347 options to fine tune their behaviour, including one to return the php code to
348 be saved and later used as standalone php script.
350 A new function wrap_xmlrpc_server() has been added, to wrap all (or some) of the
351 methods exposed by a remote xmlrpc server into a php class.
353 Lib internals have been modified to provide better support for grafting extra
354 functionality on top of it. Stay tuned for future releases of the EXTRAS package.
356 Last but not least a new file has been added: verify_compat.php, to help users
357 diagnose the level of compliance of the current php install with the library.
361 * fixed bug 1311927: client not playing nice with some proxy/firewall on ports != 80
362 * fixed bug 1334340: all ereg_ functions have been replaced with corresponding preg_
363 * fixed bug: wrong handling of 'deflate' http encoding, both server and client side
364 * fixed bug: sending compressed responses when php output compression is enabled was not working
365 * fixed bug: addarray() and addstruct() where not returning 1 when adding data to already initialized values
366 * fixed bug: non-ascii chars used in struct element names where not being encoded correctly
367 * restored compatibility with php 4.0.5 (for those poor souls still stuck on it)
368 * server->service() now returns either the payload or xmlrpcresp instance
369 * server->add_to_map() now accepts methods with no param definitions
370 * added new function: php_xmlrpc_decode_xml()
371 * added new function: wrap_xmlrpc_server()
372 * major improvements and security enhancements to wrap_php_function() and wrap_xmlrpc_method()
373 * documentation for single parameters of exposed methods can be added to the dispatch map
374 (and turned into html docs in conjunction with a future release of the extras package)
375 * full response payload is saved into xmlrpcresp object for further debugging
376 * stricter parsing of incoming xmlrpc messages: two more invalid cases are now detected
377 (double data element inside array and struct/array after scalar inside value element)
378 * debugger can now generate code that wraps a remote method into php function (works for jsonrpc, too)
379 * debugger has better support for being activated via a single GET call (for integration into other tools?)
380 * more logging of errors in a lot of situations
381 * javadoc documentation of lib files almost complete
382 * the usual amount of new testcases in the testsuite
383 * many performance tweaks and code cleanups
384 * added foundation for emulating the API of the xmlrpc extension (extras package needed)
387 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0 - 2006/04/24
389 I'm pleased to announce XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0, final.
391 With respect to the last release candidate, this release corrects a few small
392 bugs and adds a couple of new features: more authentication options (digest and
393 ntlm for servers, ntlm for proxies, and some https custom certificates stuff);
394 all the examples have been reviewed and some demo files added,
395 including a ready-made xmlrpc proxy (useful e.g. for ajax calls, when the xmlrpc
396 client is a browser); the server logs more warning messages for incorrect situations;
397 both client and server are more tolerant of commonly-found mistakes.
398 The debugger has been upgraded to reflect the new client capabilities.
402 * fixed bug: method xmlrpcval::structmemexists($value) would not work
403 * fixed bug: wrap_xmlrpc_method would fail if invoked with a client object that
404 has return_type=phpvals
405 * fixed bug: in case of call to client::multicall without fallback and server error
406 * fixed bug: recursive serialization of xmlrpcvals loosing specified UTF8 charset
407 * fixed bug: serializing to ISO-8859-1 with php 5 would raise an error if non-ascii
408 chars where found when decoding
409 * new: client can use NTLM and Digest authentication methods for https and http 1.1
410 connections; authentication to proxy can be set to NTLM, too
411 * new: server tolerates user functions returning a single xmlrpcval object instead
413 * new: server does more checks for presence and correct return type of user
414 coded method handling functions, and logs inconsistencies to php error log
415 * new: client method SetCaCertificate($cert, $is_dir) to validate server against
416 * new: both server and client tolerate receiving 'true' and 'false' for bool values
417 (which btw are not valid according to the xmlrpc spec)
420 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0RC3 - 2006/01/22
422 This release corrects a few bugs and adds some interesting new features.
423 It has been tested with PHP up to 4.4.2 and 5.1.2.
425 * fixed bug: server not recognizing clients that declare support for http compression
426 * fixed bug: serialization of new xmlrpcval (8, 'string') when internal encoding
428 * fixed bug: serialization of new xmlrpcval ('hello', 'int') would produce
430 * new: let the server accept 'class::method' syntax in the dispatch map
431 * new: php_xmlrpc_decode() can decode xmlrpcmessage objects
432 * new: both client and server can specify a charset to be used for serializing
433 values instead of the default 'US-ASCII+xml-entities-for-other-characters'.
434 Values allowed: ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8
435 * new: the server object can register 'plain' php functions instead of functions
436 that accept a single parameter of type xmlrpcmsg. Faster, uses less memory
437 (but comes with minor drawbacks as well, read the manual for more details)
438 * new: client::setDebug(2) can be used to have the request payload printed to
439 screen before being sent
440 * new: server::service($data) lets user parse data other than POST body, for
441 easier testing / subclassing
442 * changed: framework-generated debug messages are sent back by the server base64
443 encoded, to avoid any charset/xml compatibility problem
446 The usual refactoring of a lot of (private) methods has taken place, with new
447 parameters added to some functions.
448 Javadoc documentation has been improved a lot.
449 The HTML documentation has been shuffled around a bit, hoping to give it a more
450 logical organization.
452 The experimental support for the JSON protocol has been removed, and will be
453 packaged as a separate download with some extra very interesting stuff (human
454 readable auto-generated documentation, anyone?).
457 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0RC2 - 2005/11/22
459 This release corrects a few bugs and adds basically one new method for better
462 * fixed two bugs that prevented xmlrpc calls to take place over https
463 * fixed two bugs that prevented proper recognition of xml character set
464 when it was declared inside the xml prologue
465 * added xmlrpc_client::setKey($key, $keypass) method, to allow using client
466 side certificates for https connections
467 * fixed bug that prevented proper serialization of string xmlrpcvals when
468 $xmlrpc_internalencoding was set to UTF-8
469 * fixed bug in xmlrpc_server::echoInput() (and marked method as deprecated)
470 * correctly set cookies/http headers into xmlrpcresp objects even when the
471 send() method call fails for some reason
472 * added a benchmark file in the testsuite directory
474 A couple of (private/protected) methods have been refactored, as well as a
475 couple of extra parameters added to some (private) functions - this has no
476 impact on the public API and should be of interest primarily to people extending
477 / subclassing the lib.
479 There is also new, PARTIAL support for the JSON-RPC protocol, implemented in
480 two files in the extras dir (more info about json-rpc at http://json-rpc.org)
483 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0RC1 - 2005/10/03
485 I'm pleased to announce XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0, release candidate 1.
487 This release introduces so many new features it is almost impossible to list them
488 here, making the library finally on pair with, if not more advanced than, any other
489 similar offer (e.g. the PEAR XMLRPC package or the Incutio IXR library).
490 No, really, trust me.
492 The minimum supported PHP version is now 4.2 - natively - or 4.0.4pl1 - by usage of
493 a couple of compatibility classes (code taken from PEAR php_compat package).
495 The placement of files and directories in the distribution has been deeply modified,
496 in the hope of making it more clear, now that the file count has increased.
497 I hope you find it easy.
499 Support for "advanced" HTTP features such as cookies, proxies and keep-alives has
502 It is now much easier to convert between xmlrpcval objects and php values, and
503 in fact php_xmlrpc_encode and php_xmlrpc_decode are now the recommended methods
504 for all cases, except when encoding base64 data.
506 Two new (experimental) functions have been added, allowing automagic conversion
507 of a php function into an xmlrpc method to be exposed and vice-versa.
509 PHP objects can be now automatically serialized as xmlrpc struct values and
510 correctly deserialized on the other end of the transmission, provided that the
511 same class definition is present on both sides and no object members are of
514 A lot of the existing class methods have been overloaded with extra parameters
515 or new functionality, and a few added ex-novo, making usage easier than ever.
517 A complete debugger solution is included in the distribution. It needs a web server
518 to run (a freely available version of the same debugger is accessible online, it
519 can be found at http://phpxmlrpc.sourceforge.net).
521 For a more detailed list of changes, please read carefully chapter 2 of the
522 included documentation, or, even better, take a look at the source code, which
523 is commented in javadoc style quite a bit.
526 XML-RPC for PHP version 1.2 - 2005/08/14
528 This removes all use of eval(), which is a potential security problem.
529 All users are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible.
530 As of this release we are no longer php3-compatible.
533 XML-RPC for PHP version 1.1.1 - 2005/06/30
535 This is a security vulnerability fix release.
536 All users are invited to upgrade as soon as possible.
539 XML-RPC for PHP version 1.1 - 2005/05/03
541 I'm pleased to announce XML-RPC for PHP version 1.1
542 It's taken two years to get to the this point, but here we are, finally.
544 This is a bugfix and maintenance release. No major new features have been added.
545 All known bugs have been ironed out, unless fixing would have meant breaking
547 The code has been tested with PHP 3, 4 and 5, even tough PHP 4 is the main
548 development platform (and some warnings will be emitted when running PHP5).
550 Noteworthy changes include:
552 * do not clash any more with the EPI xmlrpc extension bundled with PHP 4 and 5
553 * fixed the unicode/charset problems that have been plaguing the lib for years
554 * proper parsing of int and float values prepended with zeroes or the '+' char
555 * accept float values in exponential notation
556 * configurable http user-agent string
