+XML-RPC for PHP version 4.0.0 - 2015/Y/Z
-Taking baby steps to modern-world php, this release is now tested using Travis ( https://travis-ci.org/ ).
+This release does away with the past and starts a transition to modern-world php.
-Improved: no need to call anymore $client->setSSLVerifyHost(2) to silence a curl warning when using https with recent curl builds
+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.
+
+ All php classes have been renamed and moved to separate files.
+ Class autoloading can now be done in accord with the PSR-4 standard.
+ 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
+
+* improved: all php code is now formatted according to the PSR-2 standard
+
+* improved: no need to call anymore $client->setSSLVerifyHost(2) to silence a curl warning when using https
+ with recent curl builds
+
+* improved: debug messages are not html-escaped any more when executing from the command line
+
+* 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 library is now tested using Travis ( https://travis-ci.org/ ).
+ Tests are executed using all php versions from 5.3 to 7.0 nightly, plus HHVM; 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 testsuite has basic checks for the debugger and demo files
