+* improved: the test suite has basic checks for the debugger and demo files
+
+* improved: more tests in the test suite
+
+* fixed: the server would not reset the user-set debug messages between subsequent service() calls
+
+* fixed: the server would not reset previous php error handlers when an exception was thrown by user code and
+ exception_handling set to 2
+
+* fixed: the server would fail to decode a request with ISO-8859-1 payload and character set declaration in the xml
+ prolog only
+
+* fixed: the client would fail to decode a response with ISO-8859-1 payload and character set declaration in the xml
+ prolog only
+
+* fixed: the function decode_xml() would not decode an xml with character set declaration in the xml prolog
+
+* fixed: the client can now successfully call methods using ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8 characters in their name
+
+* fixed: the debugger would fail sending a request with ISO-8859-1 payload (it missed the character set declaration).
+ It would have a hard time coping with ISO-8859-1 in other fields, such as e.g. the remote method name
+
+* fixed: the debugger would generate a bad payload via the 'load method synopsis' button for signatures containing NULL
+ or undefined parameters
+
+* fixed: the debugger would generate a bad payload via the 'load method synopsis' button for methods with multiple
+ signatures
+
+* improved: the debugger is displayed using UTF-8, making it more useful to debug any kind of service
+
+* improved: echo all debug messages even when there are characters in them which php deems to be in a wrong encoding;
+ previously those messages would just disappear (this is visible e.g. in the debugger)
+
+* changed: debug info handling
+ - at debug level 1, the rebuilt php objects are not dumped to screen (server-side already did that)
+ - at debug level 1, curl communication info are not dumped to screen
+ - at debug level 1, the tests echo payloads of failures; at debug level 2 all payloads
+
+* improved: makefiles have been replaced with a php_based pakefile
+
+* improved: the source for the manual is stored in asciidoc format, which can be displayed natively by GitHub
+ with nice html formatting. Also the HTML version generated by hand and bundled in tarballs is much nicer
+ to look at than previous versions
+
+* improved: all php code is now formatted according to the PSR-2 standard
