1 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.5.0 - (unreleased)
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 the Wrapper classes in identifying the required arguments types from phpdoc: support 'array[]',
9 'DateTime' and 'DateTimeImmutable'
11 * improvements to the support of the XMLRPC extension emulation (as provided by the phpxmlrpc/polyfill-xmlrpc package)
13 * removed obsolete files from the 'extras' directory
16 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.4.3 - 2020/12/17
18 * fixed: compatibility with PHP 8.0 (fixes to the debugger, to the server's 'system.methodHelp' method and to the
19 PhpXmlRpc\Wrapper class).
20 Note that method `Value::structeach` has not been removed from the API, but it is _not_ supported when running
21 on PHP 8.0 or later - in that case it will always throw an Error.
23 * improvements to the test stack: it is now possible to run it via Docker besides Travis; avoid using _any_ external
24 server when running tests; run Travis tests also on php 8.0; bump PHPUnit versions in use
27 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.4.2 - 2020/3/4
29 * fixed: `client->setCookie()` bug: cookie values that contain spaces are now properly encoded in a way that gets them
30 decoded back to spaces on the receiving end if the server running on php 7.4 (or does RFC-compliant cookie decoding).
31 Beforehand we were encoding spaces to '+' characters.
34 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.4.1 - 2019/7/29
36 * fixed: allow handling huge xml messages (>=10MB) (issue #71)
38 * improved: make it easier to overtake the library's usage of `error_log`
41 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.3.2 - 2019/5/27
43 * fixed: remove one php 7.2 warning when using the v3 api
45 * 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
48 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.3.1 - 2018/1/20
50 * fixed: error when using https in non-curl mode
52 * fixed: compatibility of tests with php 7.2
54 * fixed: html injection in sample code
56 * fixed: warnings emitted by the *legacy* server in xmlrpcs.inc
58 * fixed: encoding of php variables of type 'resource' when using xmlrpc_encode in php-compatibility mode
60 * fixed: bad html tag in sample code
62 * improved: text of error messages
65 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.3.0 - 2017/11/6
67 * fixed: compatibility with Basic/Digest/NTLM auth when using client in cURL mode (issue #58)
69 * improved: added unit tests for Basic and Digest http auth. Also improved tests suite
71 * new: allow to force usage of curl for http 1.0 calls, as well as plain socket for https calls, via the method
72 `Client::setUseCurl()`
75 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.2.2 - 2017/10/15
77 * fixed: compatibility with Lighttpd target servers when using client in cURL mode and request body size > 1024 bytes (issue #56)
80 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.2.1 - 2017/9/3
82 * fixed: compatibility with php 7.2 (issue #55)
85 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.2.0 - 2017/6/30
87 * improved: allow also DateTimeImmutable objects to be detected as a date when encoding
90 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.1.1 - 2016/10/1
92 * fixed: error in server class: undefined function php_xmlrpc_encode (only triggered when not using the compatibility
93 shim with old versions)
96 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.1.0 - 2016/6/26
98 * improved: Added support for receiving <I8> and <EX:I8> integers, sending <I8>
100 If php is compiled in 32 bit mode, and an i8 int is received from a 3rd party, and error will be emitted.
101 Integers sent from the library to 3rd parties can be encoded using the i8 tag, but default to using 'int' by default;
102 the developer will have to create values as i8 explicitly if needed.
103 The library does *not* check if an outgoing integer is too big to fit in 4 bytes and convert it to an i8 automatically.
106 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.0.1 - 2016/3/27
108 * improved: all of the API documentation has been moved out of the manual and into the source code phpdoc comments
110 * fixed: when the internal character set is set to UTF-8 and the client sends requests (or the server responses), too
111 many characters were encoded as numeric entities, whereas some, like åäö, needed not not be
113 * fixed: the 'valtyp' property of Response was not present in all cases; the ValType property had been added by error
117 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.0.0 - 2016/1/20
119 This release does away with the past and starts a transition to modern-world php.
121 Code has been heavily refactored, taking care to preserve backwards compatibility as much as possible,
122 but some breackage is to be expected.
124 The minimum required php version has been increased to 5.3, even though we strongly urge you to use
125 more recent versions.
127 PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE NOTES BELOW to insure a smooth upgrade.
129 * new: introduction of namespaces and full OOP.
131 All php classes have been renamed and moved to separate files.
132 Class autoloading can now be done in accord with the PSR-4 standard.
133 All global variables and global functions have been removed.
134 Iterating over xmlrpc value objects is now easier thank to support for ArrayAccess and Traversable interfaces.
136 Backward compatibility is maintained via lib/xmlrpc.inc, lib/xmlrpcs.inc and lib/xmlrpc_wrappers.inc.
137 For more details, head on to doc/api_changes_v4.md
139 * changed: the default character encoding delivered from the library to your code is now utf8.
140 It can be changed at any time setting a value to PhpXmlRpc\PhpXmlRpc::$xmlrpc_internalencoding
142 * improved: the library now accepts requests/responses sent using other character sets than UTF-8/ISO-8859-1/ASCII.
143 This only works when the mbstring php extension is enabled.
145 * improved: no need to call anymore $client->setSSLVerifyHost(2) to silence a curl warning when using https
146 with recent curl builds
148 * improved: the xmlrpcval class now supports the interfaces Countable and IteratorAggregate
150 * improved: a specific option allows users to decide the version of SSL to use for https calls.
151 This is useful f.e. for the testing suite, when the server target of calls has no proper ssl certificate,
152 and the cURL extension has been compiled with GnuTLS (such as on Travis VMs)
154 * improved: the function wrap_php_function() now can be used to wrap closures (it is now a method btw)
156 * improved: all wrap_something() functions now return a closure by default instead of a function name
158 * improved: debug messages are not html-escaped any more when executing from the command line
160 * improved: the library is now tested using Travis ( https://travis-ci.org/ ).
161 Tests are executed using all php versions from 5.3 to 7.2; code-coverage information
162 is generated using php 5.6 and uploaded to both Code Coverage and Scrutinizer online services
164 * improved: phpunit is now installed via composer, not bundled anymore
166 * improved: when phpunit is used to generate code-coverage data, the code executed server-side is accounted for
168 * improved: the test suite has basic checks for the debugger and demo files
170 * improved: more tests in the test suite
172 * fixed: the server would not reset the user-set debug messages between subsequent service() calls
174 * fixed: the server would not reset previous php error handlers when an exception was thrown by user code and
175 exception_handling set to 2
177 * fixed: the server would fail to decode a request with ISO-8859-1 payload and character set declaration in the xml
180 * fixed: the client would fail to decode a response with ISO-8859-1 payload and character set declaration in the xml
183 * fixed: the function decode_xml() would not decode an xml with character set declaration in the xml prolog
185 * fixed: the client can now successfully call methods using ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8 characters in their name
187 * fixed: the debugger would fail sending a request with ISO-8859-1 payload (it missed the character set declaration).
188 It would have a hard time coping with ISO-8859-1 in other fields, such as e.g. the remote method name
190 * fixed: the debugger would generate a bad payload via the 'load method synopsis' button for signatures containing NULL
191 or undefined parameters
193 * fixed: the debugger would generate a bad payload via the 'load method synopsis' button for methods with multiple
196 * improved: the debugger is displayed using UTF-8, making it more useful to debug any kind of service
198 * improved: echo all debug messages even when there are characters in them which php deems to be in a wrong encoding;
199 previously those messages would just disappear (this is visible e.g. in the debugger)
201 * changed: debug info handling
202 - at debug level 1, the rebuilt php objects are not dumped to screen (server-side already did that)
203 - at debug level 1, curl communication info are not dumped to screen
204 - at debug level 1, the tests echo payloads of failures; at debug level 2 all payloads
206 * improved: makefiles have been replaced with a php_based pakefile
208 * improved: the source for the manual is stored in asciidoc format, which can be displayed natively by GitHub
209 with nice html formatting. Also the HTML version generated by hand and bundled in tarballs is much nicer
210 to look at than previous versions
212 * improved: all php code is now formatted according to the PSR-2 standard
215 XML-RPC for PHP version 3.0.0 - 2014/6/15
217 This release corrects all bugs that have been reported and successfully reproduced since
220 The requirements have increased to php 5.1.0 - which is still way older than what you should be running for any serious
223 It also is the first release to be installable via composer.
225 See the Changelog file or the pdf docs for a complete list of changes.
228 XML-RPC for PHP version 3.0.0 beta - 2009/09/05
230 This is the first release of the library to only support PHP 5.
231 Some legacy code has been removed, and support for features such as exceptions
232 and dateTime objects introduced.
234 The "beta" tag is meant to indicate the fact that the refactoring has been more widespread
235 than in precedent releases and that more changes are likely to be introduced with time -
236 the library is still considered to be production quality.
238 * improved: removed all usage of php functions deprecated in php 5.3, usage of assign-by-ref when creating new objects
240 * improved: add support for the <ex:nil/> tag used by the apache library, both in input and output
241 * improved: add support for dateTime objects in both in php_xmlrpc_encode and as parameter for constructor of xmlrpcval
242 * improved: add support for timestamps as parameter for constructor of xmlrpcval
243 * improved: add option 'dates_as_objects' to php_xmlrpc_decode to return dateTime objects for xmlrpc datetimes
244 * improved: add new method SetCurlOptions to xmrlpc_client to allow extra flexibility in tweaking http config, such as
245 explicitly binding to an ip address
246 * improved: add new method SetUserAgent to xmrlpc_client to to allow having different user-agent http headers
247 * improved: add a new member variable in server class to allow fine-tuning of the encoding of returned values when the
248 server is in 'phpvals' mode
249 * improved: allow servers in 'xmlrpcvals' mode to also register plain php functions by defining them in the dispatch map
251 * improved: catch exceptions thrown during execution of php functions exposed as methods by the server
252 * fixed: bad encoding if same object is encoded twice using php_xmlrpc_encode
255 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.2.2 - 2009/03/16
257 This release corrects all bugs that have been reported and sucesfully reproduced since
259 Regardless of the intimidating message about dropping PHP 4 support, it still does
260 support that ancient, broken and insecure platform.
263 * fixed: php warning when receiving 'false' in a bool value
264 * fixed: improve robustness of the debugger when parsing weird results from non-compliant servers
265 * fixed: format floating point values using the correct decimal separator even when php locale is set to one that uses
267 * fixed: use feof() to test if socket connections are to be closed instead of the number of bytes read (rare bug when
268 communicating with some servers)
269 * fixed: be more tolerant in detection of charset in http headers
270 * fixed: fix encoding of UTF8 chars outside of the BMP plane
271 * fixed: fix detection of zlib.output_compression
272 * improved: allow the add_to_map server method to add docs for single params too
273 * improved: added the possibility to wrap for exposure as xmlrpc methods plain php class methods, object methods and
277 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.2.1 - 2008/03/06
279 This release corrects all bugs that have been reported and sucesfully reproduced.
280 It is the last release of the library that will support PHP 4.
282 * fixed: work around bug in php 5.2.2 which broke support of HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA
283 * fixed: is_dir parameter of setCaCertificate() method is reversed
284 * fixed: a php warning in xmlrpc_client creator method
285 * fixed: parsing of '1e+1' as valid float
286 * fixed: allow errorlevel 3 to work when prev. error handler was a static method
287 * fixed: usage of client::setcookie() for multiple cookies in non-ssl mode
288 * improved: support for CP1252 charset is not part or the library but almost possible
289 * improved: more info when curl is enabled and debug mode is on
292 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.2 - 2007/02/25
294 This release corrects a couple of bugs and adds a few minor features.
296 * fixed: debugger errors on php installs with magic_quotes_gpc on
297 * fixed: support for https connections via proxy
298 * fixed: wrap_xmlrpc_method() generated code failed to properly encode php objects
299 * improved: slightly faster encoding of data which is internally UTF-8
300 * improved: debugger always generates a 'null' id for jsonrpc if user omits it
301 * new: debugger can take advantage of a graphical value builder
302 (it has to be downloaded separately, as part of jsxmlrpc package)
303 * new: support for the <NIL/> xmlrpc extension
304 * new: server support for the system.getCapabilities xmlrpc extension
305 * new: wrap_xmlrpc_method() accepts two new options: debug and return_on_fault
308 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.1 - 2006/08/28
310 This release corrects quite a few bugs and adds some interesting new features.
311 There is a minor security enhancement and overall speedup too.
313 It has been tested with PHP 4.0.5 up to 4.4.4 and 5.1.5.
314 Please note that 404pl1 is NOT supported, and has not been since 2.0.
316 *** PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BELOW ***
318 CHANGES THAT MIGHT AFFECT DEPLOYED APPLICATIONS:
320 The wrap_php_function and wrap_xmlrpc_method functions have been moved out of
321 the base library file xmlrpc.inc into a file of their own: xmlrpc_wrappers.inc.
322 You will have to include() / require() it in your scripts if you have been using
325 For increased security, the automatic rebuilding of php object instances out of
326 received xmlrpc structs in wrap_xmlrpc_method() has been disabled (but it can be
327 optionally reenabled).
329 The constructor of xmlrpcval() values has seen major changes, and it will not
330 throw a php warning anymore when invoked using an unknown xmlrpc type: the
331 error will only be written to php error log. Also new xmlrpcval('true', 'boolean')
332 is not supported anymore.
336 The new function php_xmlrpc_decode_xml() will take the xml representation of
337 either an xmlrpc request, response or single value and return the corresponding
338 php-xmlrpc object instance.
340 Both wrap_php_function() and wrap_xmlrpc_method() functions accept many more
341 options to fine tune their behaviour, including one to return the php code to
342 be saved and later used as standalone php script.
344 A new function wrap_xmlrpc_server() has been added, to wrap all (or some) of the
345 methods exposed by a remote xmlrpc server into a php class.
347 Lib internals have been modified to provide better support for grafting extra
348 functionality on top of it. Stay tuned for future releases of the EXTRAS package.
350 Last but not least a new file has been added: verify_compat.php, to help users
351 diagnose the level of compliance of the current php install with the library.
355 * fixed bug 1311927: client not playing nice with some proxy/firewall on ports != 80
356 * fixed bug 1334340: all ereg_ functions have been replaced with corresponding preg_
357 * fixed bug: wrong handling of 'deflate' http encoding, both server and client side
358 * fixed bug: sending compressed responses when php output compression is enabled was not working
359 * fixed bug: addarray() and addstruct() where not returning 1 when adding data to already initialized values
360 * fixed bug: non-ascii chars used in struct element names where not being encoded correctly
361 * restored compatibility with php 4.0.5 (for those poor souls still stuck on it)
362 * server->service() now returns either the payload or xmlrpcresp instance
363 * server->add_to_map() now accepts methods with no param definitions
364 * added new function: php_xmlrpc_decode_xml()
365 * added new function: wrap_xmlrpc_server()
366 * major improvements and security enhancements to wrap_php_function() and wrap_xmlrpc_method()
367 * documentation for single parameters of exposed methods can be added to the dispatch map
368 (and turned into html docs in conjunction with a future release of the extras package)
369 * full response payload is saved into xmlrpcresp object for further debugging
370 * stricter parsing of incoming xmlrpc messages: two more invalid cases are now detected
371 (double data element inside array and struct/array after scalar inside value element)
372 * debugger can now generate code that wraps a remote method into php function (works for jsonrpc, too)
373 * debugger has better support for being activated via a single GET call (for integration into other tools?)
374 * more logging of errors in a lot of situations
375 * javadoc documentation of lib files almost complete
376 * the usual amount of new testcases in the testsuite
377 * many performance tweaks and code cleanups
378 * added foundation for emulating the API of the xmlrpc extension (extras package needed)
381 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0 - 2006/04/24
383 I'm pleased to announce XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0, final.
385 With respect to the last release candidate, this release corrects a few small
386 bugs and adds a couple of new features: more authentication options (digest and
387 ntlm for servers, ntlm for proxies, and some https custom certificates stuff);
388 all the examples have been reviewed and some demo files added,
389 including a ready-made xmlrpc proxy (useful e.g. for ajax calls, when the xmlrpc
390 client is a browser); the server logs more warning messages for incorrect situations;
391 both client and server are more tolerant of commonly-found mistakes.
392 The debugger has been upgraded to reflect the new client capabilities.
396 * fixed bug: method xmlrpcval::structmemexists($value) would not work
397 * fixed bug: wrap_xmlrpc_method would fail if invoked with a client object that
398 has return_type=phpvals
399 * fixed bug: in case of call to client::multicall without fallback and server error
400 * fixed bug: recursive serialization of xmlrpcvals loosing specified UTF8 charset
401 * fixed bug: serializing to ISO-8859-1 with php 5 would raise an error if non-ascii
402 chars where found when decoding
403 * new: client can use NTLM and Digest authentication methods for https and http 1.1
404 connections; authentication to proxy can be set to NTLM, too
405 * new: server tolerates user functions returning a single xmlrpcval object instead
407 * new: server does more checks for presence and correct return type of user
408 coded method handling functions, and logs inconsistencies to php error log
409 * new: client method SetCaCertificate($cert, $is_dir) to validate server against
410 * new: both server and client tolerate receiving 'true' and 'false' for bool values
411 (which btw are not valid according to the xmlrpc spec)
414 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0RC3 - 2006/01/22
416 This release corrects a few bugs and adds some interesting new features.
417 It has been tested with PHP up to 4.4.2 and 5.1.2.
419 * fixed bug: server not recognizing clients that declare support for http compression
420 * fixed bug: serialization of new xmlrpcval (8, 'string') when internal encoding
422 * fixed bug: serialization of new xmlrpcval ('hello', 'int') would produce
424 * new: let the server accept 'class::method' syntax in the dispatch map
425 * new: php_xmlrpc_decode() can decode xmlrpcmessage objects
426 * new: both client and server can specify a charset to be used for serializing
427 values instead of the default 'US-ASCII+xml-entities-for-other-characters'.
428 Values allowed: ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8
429 * new: the server object can register 'plain' php functions instead of functions
430 that accept a single parameter of type xmlrpcmsg. Faster, uses less memory
431 (but comes with minor drawbacks as well, read the manual for more details)
432 * new: client::setDebug(2) can be used to have the request payload printed to
433 screen before being sent
434 * new: server::service($data) lets user parse data other than POST body, for
435 easier testing / subclassing
436 * changed: framework-generated debug messages are sent back by the server base64
437 encoded, to avoid any charset/xml compatibility problem
440 The usual refactoring of a lot of (private) methods has taken place, with new
441 parameters added to some functions.
442 Javadoc documentation has been improved a lot.
443 The HTML documentation has been shuffled around a bit, hoping to give it a more
444 logical organization.
446 The experimental support for the JSON protocol has been removed, and will be
447 packaged as a separate download with some extra very interesting stuff (human
448 readable auto-generated documentation, anyone?).
451 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0RC2 - 2005/11/22
453 This release corrects a few bugs and adds basically one new method for better
456 * fixed two bugs that prevented xmlrpc calls to take place over https
457 * fixed two bugs that prevented proper recognition of xml character set
458 when it was declared inside the xml prologue
459 * added xmlrpc_client::setKey($key, $keypass) method, to allow using client
460 side certificates for https connections
461 * fixed bug that prevented proper serialization of string xmlrpcvals when
462 $xmlrpc_internalencoding was set to UTF-8
463 * fixed bug in xmlrpc_server::echoInput() (and marked method as deprecated)
464 * correctly set cookies/http headers into xmlrpcresp objects even when the
465 send() method call fails for some reason
466 * added a benchmark file in the testsuite directory
468 A couple of (private/protected) methods have been refactored, as well as a
469 couple of extra parameters added to some (private) functions - this has no
470 impact on the public API and should be of interest primarily to people extending
471 / subclassing the lib.
473 There is also new, PARTIAL support for the JSON-RPC protocol, implemented in
474 two files in the extras dir (more info about json-rpc at http://json-rpc.org)
477 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0RC1 - 2005/10/03
479 I'm pleased to announce XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0, release candidate 1.
481 This release introduces so many new features it is almost impossible to list them
482 here, making the library finally on pair with, if not more advanced than, any other
483 similar offer (e.g. the PEAR XMLRPC package or the Incutio IXR library).
484 No, really, trust me.
486 The minimum supported PHP version is now 4.2 - natively - or 4.0.4pl1 - by usage of
487 a couple of compatibility classes (code taken from PEAR php_compat package).
489 The placement of files and directories in the distribution has been deeply modified,
490 in the hope of making it more clear, now that the file count has increased.
491 I hope you find it easy.
493 Support for "advanced" HTTP features such as cookies, proxies and keep-alives has
496 It is now much easier to convert between xmlrpcval objects and php values, and
497 in fact php_xmlrpc_encode and php_xmlrpc_decode are now the recommended methods
498 for all cases, except when encoding base64 data.
500 Two new (experimental) functions have been added, allowing automagic conversion
501 of a php function into an xmlrpc method to be exposed and vice-versa.
503 PHP objects can be now automatically serialized as xmlrpc struct values and
504 correctly deserialized on the other end of the transmission, provided that the
505 same class definition is present on both sides and no object members are of
508 A lot of the existing class methods have been overloaded with extra parameters
509 or new functionality, and a few added ex-novo, making usage easier than ever.
511 A complete debugger solution is included in the distribution. It needs a web server
512 to run (a freely available version of the same debugger is accessible online, it
513 can be found at http://phpxmlrpc.sourceforge.net).
515 For a more detailed list of changes, please read carefully chapter 2 of the
516 included documentation, or, even better, take a look at the source code, which
517 is commented in javadoc style quite a bit.
520 XML-RPC for PHP version 1.2 - 2005/08/14
522 This removes all use of eval(), which is a potential security problem.
523 All users are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible.
524 As of this release we are no longer php3-compatible.
527 XML-RPC for PHP version 1.1.1 - 2005/06/30
529 This is a security vulnerability fix release.
530 All users are invited to upgrade as soon as possible.
533 XML-RPC for PHP version 1.1 - 2005/05/03
535 I'm pleased to announce XML-RPC for PHP version 1.1
536 It's taken two years to get to the this point, but here we are, finally.
538 This is a bugfix and maintenance release. No major new features have been added.
539 All known bugs have been ironed out, unless fixing would have meant breaking
541 The code has been tested with PHP 3, 4 and 5, even tough PHP 4 is the main
542 development platform (and some warnings will be emitted when running PHP5).
544 Noteworthy changes include:
546 * do not clash any more with the EPI xmlrpc extension bundled with PHP 4 and 5
547 * fixed the unicode/charset problems that have been plaguing the lib for years
548 * proper parsing of int and float values prepended with zeroes or the '+' char
549 * accept float values in exponential notation
550 * configurable http user-agent string
551 * use the same timeout on client socket reads as used for connecting
552 * more explicative error messages in xmlrpcresponse in many cases
553 * much more tolerant parsing of malformed http responses from xmlrpc servers
554 * fixed memleak that prevented the client to be used in never-ending scripts
