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

559 XML-RPC for PHP version 1.1 - 2005/05/03
561 I'm pleased to announce XML-RPC for PHP version 1.1
562 It's taken two years to get to the this point, but here we are, finally.
564 This is a bugfix and maintenance release. No major new features have been added.
565 All known bugs have been ironed out, unless fixing would have meant breaking
567 The code has been tested with PHP 3, 4 and 5, even tough PHP 4 is the main
568 development platform (and some warnings will be emitted when running PHP5).
570 Noteworthy changes include:
572 * do not clash any more with the EPI xmlrpc extension bundled with PHP 4 and 5
573 * fixed the unicode/charset problems that have been plaguing the lib for years
574 * proper parsing of int and float values prepended with zeroes or the '+' char
575 * accept float values in exponential notation
576 * configurable http user-agent string
577 * use the same timeout on client socket reads as used for connecting
578 * more explicative error messages in xmlrpcresponse in many cases
579 * much more tolerant parsing of malformed http responses from xmlrpc servers
580 * fixed memleak that prevented the client to be used in never-ending scripts
581 * parse bigger xmlrpc messages without crashing (1MB in size or more)
582 * be tolerant to xmlrpc responses generated on public servers that add
583 javascript advertising at the end of hosted content
584 * the lib generates quite a few less PHP warnings during standard operation
586 This is the last release that will support PHP 3.
587 The next release will include better support for PHP 5 and (possibly) a slew of

601 is re-licensing with the BSD open source license, a move from the custom
602 license previously used.

605 another primary maintainer for the code. More details will follow to the
