+* improved: when encoding utf8 text into us-ascii xml, use character entity references for characters number 0-31
+ (ascii non printable characters), as we were already doing when encoding iso-8859-1 text into us-ascii xml
+
+* new: method `Server::getDispatchMap()`. Useful for non-child classes which want to f.e. introspect the server
+
+* new: increase flexibility in class composition by adopting a Dependency Injection (...ish) pattern:
+ it is now possible to swap out the Logger, XMLParser and Charset classes with similar ones of your own making.
+ Example code:
+ // 1. create an instance of a custom character encoder
+ // $myCharsetEncoder = ...
+ // 2. then use it while serializing a Request:
+ Request::setCharsetEncoder($myCharsetEncoder);
+ $request->serialize($funkyCharset);
+
+* new: method `XMLParser::parse()` acquired a 4th argument
+
+* improved: Continuous Integration is now running on Github Actions instead of Travis
+
+
+XML-RPC for PHP version 4.5.2 - 2021/1/11
+
+* improved: better phpdocs in the the php code generated by the Wrapper class
+
+* improved: debugger favicon and page title when used from the phpjsonrpc library
+
+* fixed: allow `Encoder::decode` to properly support different target character sets for polyfill-xmlrpc decode functions
+
+* improved: allow usage of 'epivals' for the 'parameters_type' member of methods definitions in the Server dispatch map
+
+
+XML-RPC for PHP version 4.5.1 - 2021/1/3
+
+* improved: made it easier to subclass the Helper\Charset class by allowing `instance` to use late static binding
+
+* fixed: reinstated access to xmlrpc_server->dmap (for users of the v3 API)
+
+* fixed: method `xmlrpc_encode_entitites` (for users of the v3 API)
+
+* improved: split the code of the demo server in multiple files, describing better the purpose of each
+
+
+XML-RPC for PHP version 4.5.0 - 2020/12/31
+
+* new: it is now possible to control the precision used when serializing DOUBLE values via usage of
+ `PhpXmlRpc::$xmlpc_double_precision`
+
+* fixed: `Encoder::encode` would not correctly encode DateTime and DateTimeImmutable objects
+
+* improvements to to the Helper\Date class in rejecting invalid date strings
+
+* improvements to the Wrapper class in identifying required arguments types from source code phpdoc: support 'array[]',
+ 'DateTime' and 'DateTimeImmutable'
+
+* improvements to the support of the XMLRPC extension emulation (now provided by the phpxmlrpc/polyfill-xmlrpc package)
+
+* minor improvements to the Charset helper: it now loads character set conversion tables on demand, leading to
+ slightly lower memory usage and faster execution time when using UTF8 everywhere.
+ NB: take care if you have subclassed it!
+
+* new method: `Server::isSyscall` - mostly of use to Server subclasses and friend classes such as introspectors
+
+* internal method `XMLParser::xmlrpc_ee` now accepts 3 states for its 3rd parameter instead of a bool
+
+* improvements in the inline phpdoc: tagged many methods and class member as reserved for internal usage only
+
+* minor improvements in the debugger to allow easier integration of phpxmlrpc/jsonrpc and friends
+
+* reorganized the test suite to be more manageable
+
+* removed obsolete files from the 'extras' folder; updated and moved to the 'demo' folders the perl and python
+ client scripts; moved benchmark.php and verify_compat.php to the 'extras' folder
+
+
+XML-RPC for PHP version 4.4.3 - 2020/12/17
+
+* fixed: compatibility with PHP 8.0 (fixes to the debugger, to the server's 'system.methodHelp' method and to the
+ PhpXmlRpc\Wrapper class).
+ Note that method `Value::structeach` has not been removed from the API, but it is _not_ supported when running
+ on PHP 8.0 or later - in that case it will always throw an Error.
+
+* improvements to the test stack: it is now possible to run it via Docker besides Travis; avoid using _any_ external
+ server when running tests; run Travis tests also on php 8.0; bump PHPUnit versions in use
+
+
+XML-RPC for PHP version 4.4.2 - 2020/3/4
+
+* fixed: `client->setCookie()` bug: cookie values that contain spaces are now properly encoded in a way that gets them
+ decoded back to spaces on the receiving end if the server running on php 7.4 (or does RFC-compliant cookie decoding).
+ Beforehand we were encoding spaces to '+' characters.
+
+
+XML-RPC for PHP version 4.4.1 - 2019/7/29
+
+* fixed: allow handling huge xml messages (>=10MB) (issue #71)
+
+* improved: make it easier to overtake the library's usage of `error_log`
+
+
+XML-RPC for PHP version 4.3.2 - 2019/5/27
+
+* fixed: remove one php 7.2 warning when using the v3 api
+
+* 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
+
+
+XML-RPC for PHP version 4.3.1 - 2018/1/20
+
+* fixed: error when using https in non-curl mode
+
+* fixed: compatibility of tests with php 7.2
+
+* fixed: html injection in sample code
+
+* fixed: warnings emitted by the *legacy* server in xmlrpcs.inc
+
+* fixed: encoding of php variables of type 'resource' when using xmlrpc_encode in php-compatibility mode
+
+* fixed: bad html tag in sample code
+
+* improved: text of error messages
+
+
+XML-RPC for PHP version 4.3.0 - 2017/11/6
+
+* fixed: compatibility with Basic/Digest/NTLM auth when using client in cURL mode (issue #58)
+
+* improved: added unit tests for Basic and Digest http auth. Also improved tests suite
+
+* new: allow to force usage of curl for http 1.0 calls, as well as plain socket for https calls, via the method
+ `Client::setUseCurl()`
+
+
+XML-RPC for PHP version 4.2.2 - 2017/10/15
+
+* fixed: compatibility with Lighttpd target servers when using client in cURL mode and request body size > 1024 bytes (issue #56)
+
+
+XML-RPC for PHP version 4.2.1 - 2017/9/3
+
+* fixed: compatibility with php 7.2 (issue #55)
+
+
+XML-RPC for PHP version 4.2.0 - 2017/6/30
+
+* improved: allow also DateTimeImmutable objects to be detected as a date when encoding
+
+
+XML-RPC for PHP version 4.1.1 - 2016/10/1
+
+* fixed: error in server class: undefined function php_xmlrpc_encode (only triggered when not using the compatibility
+ shim with old versions)
+
+
+XML-RPC for PHP version 4.1.0 - 2016/6/26
+
+* improved: Added support for receiving <I8> and <EX:I8> integers, sending <I8>
+
+ If php is compiled in 32 bit mode, and an i8 int is received from a 3rd party, and error will be emitted.
+ Integers sent from the library to 3rd parties can be encoded using the i8 tag, but default to using 'int' by default;
+ the developer will have to create values as i8 explicitly if needed.
+ The library does *not* check if an outgoing integer is too big to fit in 4 bytes and convert it to an i8 automatically.
+
+
+XML-RPC for PHP version 4.0.1 - 2016/3/27
+
+* improved: all of the API documentation has been moved out of the manual and into the source code phpdoc comments
+
+* fixed: when the internal character set is set to UTF-8 and the client sends requests (or the server responses), too
+ many characters were encoded as numeric entities, whereas some, like åäö, needed not not be
+
+* fixed: the 'valtyp' property of Response was not present in all cases; the ValType property had been added by error
+ and has been removed
+
+
+XML-RPC for PHP version 4.0.0 - 2016/1/20
+
+This release does away with the past and starts a transition to modern-world php.
+
+Code has been heavily refactored, taking care to preserve backwards compatibility as much as possible,
+but some breackage is to be expected.
+
+The minimum required php version has been increased to 5.3, even though we strongly urge you to use
+more recent versions.
+
+PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE NOTES BELOW to insure a smooth upgrade.
+
+* new: introduction of namespaces and full OOP.
+
+ All php classes have been renamed and moved to separate files.
+ Class autoloading can now be done in accord with the PSR-4 standard.
+ All global variables and global functions have been removed.
+ Iterating over xmlrpc value objects is now easier thank to support for ArrayAccess and Traversable interfaces.
+
+ Backward compatibility is maintained via lib/xmlrpc.inc, lib/xmlrpcs.inc and lib/xmlrpc_wrappers.inc.
+ For more details, head on to doc/api_changes_v4.md
+
+* changed: the default character encoding delivered from the library to your code is now utf8.
+ It can be changed at any time setting a value to PhpXmlRpc\PhpXmlRpc::$xmlrpc_internalencoding
+
+* improved: the library now accepts requests/responses sent using other character sets than UTF-8/ISO-8859-1/ASCII.
+ This only works when the mbstring php extension is enabled.
+
+* improved: no need to call anymore $client->setSSLVerifyHost(2) to silence a curl warning when using https
+ with recent curl builds
+
+* improved: the xmlrpcval class now supports the interfaces Countable and IteratorAggregate
+
+* improved: a specific option allows users to decide the version of SSL to use for https calls.
+ This is useful f.e. for the testing suite, when the server target of calls has no proper ssl certificate,
+ and the cURL extension has been compiled with GnuTLS (such as on Travis VMs)
+
+* improved: the function wrap_php_function() now can be used to wrap closures (it is now a method btw)
+
+* improved: all wrap_something() functions now return a closure by default instead of a function name
+
+* improved: debug messages are not html-escaped any more when executing from the command line
+
+* improved: the library is now tested using Travis ( https://travis-ci.org/ ).
+ Tests are executed using all php versions from 5.3 to 7.2; code-coverage information
+ is generated using php 5.6 and uploaded to both Code Coverage and Scrutinizer online services
+
+* improved: phpunit is now installed via composer, not bundled anymore
+
+* improved: when phpunit is used to generate code-coverage data, the code executed server-side is accounted for
+
+* 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
