1 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.5.1 - 2021/1/3
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)
9 * improved: split the code of the demo server in multiple files, describing better the purpose of each
12 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.5.0 - 2020/12/31
14 * new: it is now possible to control the precision used when serializing DOUBLE values via usage of
15 `PhpXmlRpc::$xmlpc_double_precision`
17 * fixed: `Encoder::encode` would not correctly encode DateTime and DateTimeImmutable objects
19 * improvements to to the Helper\Date class in rejecting invalid date strings
21 * improvements to the Wrapper class in identifying required arguments types from source code phpdoc: support 'array[]',
22 'DateTime' and 'DateTimeImmutable'
24 * improvements to the support of the XMLRPC extension emulation (now provided by the phpxmlrpc/polyfill-xmlrpc package)
26 * minor improvements to the Charset helper: it now loads character set conversion tables on demand, leading to
27 slightly lower memory usage and faster execution time when using UTF8 everywhere.
28 NB: take care if you have subclassed it!
30 * new method: `Server::isSyscall` - mostly of use to Server subclasses and friend classes such as introspectors
32 * internal method `XMLParser::xmlrpc_ee` now accepts 3 states for its 3rd parameter instead of a bool
34 * improvements in the inline phpdoc: tagged many methods and class member as reserved for internal usage only
36 * minor improvements in the debugger to allow easier integration of phpxmlrpc/jsonrpc and friends
38 * reorganized the test suite to be more manageable
40 * removed obsolete files from the 'extras' folder; updated and moved to the 'demo' folders the perl and python
41 client scripts; moved benchmark.php and verify_compat.php to the 'extras' folder
44 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.4.3 - 2020/12/17
46 * fixed: compatibility with PHP 8.0 (fixes to the debugger, to the server's 'system.methodHelp' method and to the
47 PhpXmlRpc\Wrapper class).
48 Note that method `Value::structeach` has not been removed from the API, but it is _not_ supported when running
49 on PHP 8.0 or later - in that case it will always throw an Error.
51 * improvements to the test stack: it is now possible to run it via Docker besides Travis; avoid using _any_ external
52 server when running tests; run Travis tests also on php 8.0; bump PHPUnit versions in use
55 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.4.2 - 2020/3/4
57 * fixed: `client->setCookie()` bug: cookie values that contain spaces are now properly encoded in a way that gets them
58 decoded back to spaces on the receiving end if the server running on php 7.4 (or does RFC-compliant cookie decoding).
59 Beforehand we were encoding spaces to '+' characters.
62 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.4.1 - 2019/7/29
64 * fixed: allow handling huge xml messages (>=10MB) (issue #71)
66 * improved: make it easier to overtake the library's usage of `error_log`
69 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.3.2 - 2019/5/27
71 * fixed: remove one php 7.2 warning when using the v3 api
73 * 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
76 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.3.1 - 2018/1/20
78 * fixed: error when using https in non-curl mode
80 * fixed: compatibility of tests with php 7.2
82 * fixed: html injection in sample code
84 * fixed: warnings emitted by the *legacy* server in xmlrpcs.inc
86 * fixed: encoding of php variables of type 'resource' when using xmlrpc_encode in php-compatibility mode
88 * fixed: bad html tag in sample code
90 * improved: text of error messages
93 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.3.0 - 2017/11/6
95 * fixed: compatibility with Basic/Digest/NTLM auth when using client in cURL mode (issue #58)
97 * improved: added unit tests for Basic and Digest http auth. Also improved tests suite
99 * new: allow to force usage of curl for http 1.0 calls, as well as plain socket for https calls, via the method
100 `Client::setUseCurl()`
103 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.2.2 - 2017/10/15
105 * fixed: compatibility with Lighttpd target servers when using client in cURL mode and request body size > 1024 bytes (issue #56)
108 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.2.1 - 2017/9/3
110 * fixed: compatibility with php 7.2 (issue #55)
113 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.2.0 - 2017/6/30
115 * improved: allow also DateTimeImmutable objects to be detected as a date when encoding
118 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.1.1 - 2016/10/1
120 * fixed: error in server class: undefined function php_xmlrpc_encode (only triggered when not using the compatibility
121 shim with old versions)
124 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.1.0 - 2016/6/26
126 * improved: Added support for receiving <I8> and <EX:I8> integers, sending <I8>
128 If php is compiled in 32 bit mode, and an i8 int is received from a 3rd party, and error will be emitted.
129 Integers sent from the library to 3rd parties can be encoded using the i8 tag, but default to using 'int' by default;
130 the developer will have to create values as i8 explicitly if needed.
131 The library does *not* check if an outgoing integer is too big to fit in 4 bytes and convert it to an i8 automatically.
134 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.0.1 - 2016/3/27
136 * improved: all of the API documentation has been moved out of the manual and into the source code phpdoc comments
138 * fixed: when the internal character set is set to UTF-8 and the client sends requests (or the server responses), too
139 many characters were encoded as numeric entities, whereas some, like åäö, needed not not be
141 * fixed: the 'valtyp' property of Response was not present in all cases; the ValType property had been added by error
145 XML-RPC for PHP version 4.0.0 - 2016/1/20
147 This release does away with the past and starts a transition to modern-world php.
149 Code has been heavily refactored, taking care to preserve backwards compatibility as much as possible,
150 but some breackage is to be expected.
152 The minimum required php version has been increased to 5.3, even though we strongly urge you to use
153 more recent versions.
155 PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE NOTES BELOW to insure a smooth upgrade.
157 * new: introduction of namespaces and full OOP.
159 All php classes have been renamed and moved to separate files.
160 Class autoloading can now be done in accord with the PSR-4 standard.
161 All global variables and global functions have been removed.
162 Iterating over xmlrpc value objects is now easier thank to support for ArrayAccess and Traversable interfaces.
164 Backward compatibility is maintained via lib/xmlrpc.inc, lib/xmlrpcs.inc and lib/xmlrpc_wrappers.inc.
165 For more details, head on to doc/api_changes_v4.md
167 * changed: the default character encoding delivered from the library to your code is now utf8.
168 It can be changed at any time setting a value to PhpXmlRpc\PhpXmlRpc::$xmlrpc_internalencoding
170 * improved: the library now accepts requests/responses sent using other character sets than UTF-8/ISO-8859-1/ASCII.
171 This only works when the mbstring php extension is enabled.
173 * improved: no need to call anymore $client->setSSLVerifyHost(2) to silence a curl warning when using https
174 with recent curl builds
176 * improved: the xmlrpcval class now supports the interfaces Countable and IteratorAggregate
178 * improved: a specific option allows users to decide the version of SSL to use for https calls.
179 This is useful f.e. for the testing suite, when the server target of calls has no proper ssl certificate,
180 and the cURL extension has been compiled with GnuTLS (such as on Travis VMs)
182 * improved: the function wrap_php_function() now can be used to wrap closures (it is now a method btw)
184 * improved: all wrap_something() functions now return a closure by default instead of a function name
186 * improved: debug messages are not html-escaped any more when executing from the command line
188 * improved: the library is now tested using Travis ( https://travis-ci.org/ ).
189 Tests are executed using all php versions from 5.3 to 7.2; code-coverage information
190 is generated using php 5.6 and uploaded to both Code Coverage and Scrutinizer online services
192 * improved: phpunit is now installed via composer, not bundled anymore
194 * improved: when phpunit is used to generate code-coverage data, the code executed server-side is accounted for
196 * improved: the test suite has basic checks for the debugger and demo files
198 * improved: more tests in the test suite
200 * fixed: the server would not reset the user-set debug messages between subsequent service() calls
202 * fixed: the server would not reset previous php error handlers when an exception was thrown by user code and
203 exception_handling set to 2
205 * fixed: the server would fail to decode a request with ISO-8859-1 payload and character set declaration in the xml
208 * fixed: the client would fail to decode a response with ISO-8859-1 payload and character set declaration in the xml
211 * fixed: the function decode_xml() would not decode an xml with character set declaration in the xml prolog
213 * fixed: the client can now successfully call methods using ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8 characters in their name
215 * fixed: the debugger would fail sending a request with ISO-8859-1 payload (it missed the character set declaration).
216 It would have a hard time coping with ISO-8859-1 in other fields, such as e.g. the remote method name
218 * fixed: the debugger would generate a bad payload via the 'load method synopsis' button for signatures containing NULL
219 or undefined parameters
221 * fixed: the debugger would generate a bad payload via the 'load method synopsis' button for methods with multiple
224 * improved: the debugger is displayed using UTF-8, making it more useful to debug any kind of service
226 * improved: echo all debug messages even when there are characters in them which php deems to be in a wrong encoding;
227 previously those messages would just disappear (this is visible e.g. in the debugger)
229 * changed: debug info handling
230 - at debug level 1, the rebuilt php objects are not dumped to screen (server-side already did that)
231 - at debug level 1, curl communication info are not dumped to screen
232 - at debug level 1, the tests echo payloads of failures; at debug level 2 all payloads
234 * improved: makefiles have been replaced with a php_based pakefile
236 * improved: the source for the manual is stored in asciidoc format, which can be displayed natively by GitHub
237 with nice html formatting. Also the HTML version generated by hand and bundled in tarballs is much nicer
238 to look at than previous versions
240 * improved: all php code is now formatted according to the PSR-2 standard
243 XML-RPC for PHP version 3.0.0 - 2014/6/15
245 This release corrects all bugs that have been reported and successfully reproduced since
248 The requirements have increased to php 5.1.0 - which is still way older than what you should be running for any serious
251 It also is the first release to be installable via composer.
253 See the Changelog file or the pdf docs for a complete list of changes.
256 XML-RPC for PHP version 3.0.0 beta - 2009/09/05
258 This is the first release of the library to only support PHP 5.
259 Some legacy code has been removed, and support for features such as exceptions
260 and dateTime objects introduced.
262 The "beta" tag is meant to indicate the fact that the refactoring has been more widespread
263 than in precedent releases and that more changes are likely to be introduced with time -
264 the library is still considered to be production quality.
266 * improved: removed all usage of php functions deprecated in php 5.3, usage of assign-by-ref when creating new objects
268 * improved: add support for the <ex:nil/> tag used by the apache library, both in input and output
269 * improved: add support for dateTime objects in both in php_xmlrpc_encode and as parameter for constructor of xmlrpcval
270 * improved: add support for timestamps as parameter for constructor of xmlrpcval
271 * improved: add option 'dates_as_objects' to php_xmlrpc_decode to return dateTime objects for xmlrpc datetimes
272 * improved: add new method SetCurlOptions to xmrlpc_client to allow extra flexibility in tweaking http config, such as
273 explicitly binding to an ip address
274 * improved: add new method SetUserAgent to xmrlpc_client to to allow having different user-agent http headers
275 * improved: add a new member variable in server class to allow fine-tuning of the encoding of returned values when the
276 server is in 'phpvals' mode
277 * improved: allow servers in 'xmlrpcvals' mode to also register plain php functions by defining them in the dispatch map
279 * improved: catch exceptions thrown during execution of php functions exposed as methods by the server
280 * fixed: bad encoding if same object is encoded twice using php_xmlrpc_encode
283 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.2.2 - 2009/03/16
285 This release corrects all bugs that have been reported and sucesfully reproduced since
287 Regardless of the intimidating message about dropping PHP 4 support, it still does
288 support that ancient, broken and insecure platform.
291 * fixed: php warning when receiving 'false' in a bool value
292 * fixed: improve robustness of the debugger when parsing weird results from non-compliant servers
293 * fixed: format floating point values using the correct decimal separator even when php locale is set to one that uses
295 * fixed: use feof() to test if socket connections are to be closed instead of the number of bytes read (rare bug when
296 communicating with some servers)
297 * fixed: be more tolerant in detection of charset in http headers
298 * fixed: fix encoding of UTF8 chars outside of the BMP plane
299 * fixed: fix detection of zlib.output_compression
300 * improved: allow the add_to_map server method to add docs for single params too
301 * improved: added the possibility to wrap for exposure as xmlrpc methods plain php class methods, object methods and
305 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.2.1 - 2008/03/06
307 This release corrects all bugs that have been reported and sucesfully reproduced.
308 It is the last release of the library that will support PHP 4.
310 * fixed: work around bug in php 5.2.2 which broke support of HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA
311 * fixed: is_dir parameter of setCaCertificate() method is reversed
312 * fixed: a php warning in xmlrpc_client creator method
313 * fixed: parsing of '1e+1' as valid float
314 * fixed: allow errorlevel 3 to work when prev. error handler was a static method
315 * fixed: usage of client::setcookie() for multiple cookies in non-ssl mode
316 * improved: support for CP1252 charset is not part or the library but almost possible
317 * improved: more info when curl is enabled and debug mode is on
320 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.2 - 2007/02/25
322 This release corrects a couple of bugs and adds a few minor features.
324 * fixed: debugger errors on php installs with magic_quotes_gpc on
325 * fixed: support for https connections via proxy
326 * fixed: wrap_xmlrpc_method() generated code failed to properly encode php objects
327 * improved: slightly faster encoding of data which is internally UTF-8
328 * improved: debugger always generates a 'null' id for jsonrpc if user omits it
329 * new: debugger can take advantage of a graphical value builder
330 (it has to be downloaded separately, as part of jsxmlrpc package)
331 * new: support for the <NIL/> xmlrpc extension
332 * new: server support for the system.getCapabilities xmlrpc extension
333 * new: wrap_xmlrpc_method() accepts two new options: debug and return_on_fault
336 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.1 - 2006/08/28
338 This release corrects quite a few bugs and adds some interesting new features.
339 There is a minor security enhancement and overall speedup too.
341 It has been tested with PHP 4.0.5 up to 4.4.4 and 5.1.5.
342 Please note that 404pl1 is NOT supported, and has not been since 2.0.
344 *** PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BELOW ***
346 CHANGES THAT MIGHT AFFECT DEPLOYED APPLICATIONS:
348 The wrap_php_function and wrap_xmlrpc_method functions have been moved out of
349 the base library file xmlrpc.inc into a file of their own: xmlrpc_wrappers.inc.
350 You will have to include() / require() it in your scripts if you have been using
353 For increased security, the automatic rebuilding of php object instances out of
354 received xmlrpc structs in wrap_xmlrpc_method() has been disabled (but it can be
355 optionally reenabled).
357 The constructor of xmlrpcval() values has seen major changes, and it will not
358 throw a php warning anymore when invoked using an unknown xmlrpc type: the
359 error will only be written to php error log. Also new xmlrpcval('true', 'boolean')
360 is not supported anymore.
364 The new function php_xmlrpc_decode_xml() will take the xml representation of
365 either an xmlrpc request, response or single value and return the corresponding
366 php-xmlrpc object instance.
368 Both wrap_php_function() and wrap_xmlrpc_method() functions accept many more
369 options to fine tune their behaviour, including one to return the php code to
370 be saved and later used as standalone php script.
372 A new function wrap_xmlrpc_server() has been added, to wrap all (or some) of the
373 methods exposed by a remote xmlrpc server into a php class.
375 Lib internals have been modified to provide better support for grafting extra
376 functionality on top of it. Stay tuned for future releases of the EXTRAS package.
378 Last but not least a new file has been added: verify_compat.php, to help users
379 diagnose the level of compliance of the current php install with the library.
383 * fixed bug 1311927: client not playing nice with some proxy/firewall on ports != 80
384 * fixed bug 1334340: all ereg_ functions have been replaced with corresponding preg_
385 * fixed bug: wrong handling of 'deflate' http encoding, both server and client side
386 * fixed bug: sending compressed responses when php output compression is enabled was not working
387 * fixed bug: addarray() and addstruct() where not returning 1 when adding data to already initialized values
388 * fixed bug: non-ascii chars used in struct element names where not being encoded correctly
389 * restored compatibility with php 4.0.5 (for those poor souls still stuck on it)
390 * server->service() now returns either the payload or xmlrpcresp instance
391 * server->add_to_map() now accepts methods with no param definitions
392 * added new function: php_xmlrpc_decode_xml()
393 * added new function: wrap_xmlrpc_server()
394 * major improvements and security enhancements to wrap_php_function() and wrap_xmlrpc_method()
395 * documentation for single parameters of exposed methods can be added to the dispatch map
396 (and turned into html docs in conjunction with a future release of the extras package)
397 * full response payload is saved into xmlrpcresp object for further debugging
398 * stricter parsing of incoming xmlrpc messages: two more invalid cases are now detected
399 (double data element inside array and struct/array after scalar inside value element)
400 * debugger can now generate code that wraps a remote method into php function (works for jsonrpc, too)
401 * debugger has better support for being activated via a single GET call (for integration into other tools?)
402 * more logging of errors in a lot of situations
403 * javadoc documentation of lib files almost complete
404 * the usual amount of new testcases in the testsuite
405 * many performance tweaks and code cleanups
406 * added foundation for emulating the API of the xmlrpc extension (extras package needed)
409 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0 - 2006/04/24
411 I'm pleased to announce XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0, final.
413 With respect to the last release candidate, this release corrects a few small
414 bugs and adds a couple of new features: more authentication options (digest and
415 ntlm for servers, ntlm for proxies, and some https custom certificates stuff);
416 all the examples have been reviewed and some demo files added,
417 including a ready-made xmlrpc proxy (useful e.g. for ajax calls, when the xmlrpc
418 client is a browser); the server logs more warning messages for incorrect situations;
419 both client and server are more tolerant of commonly-found mistakes.
420 The debugger has been upgraded to reflect the new client capabilities.
424 * fixed bug: method xmlrpcval::structmemexists($value) would not work
425 * fixed bug: wrap_xmlrpc_method would fail if invoked with a client object that
426 has return_type=phpvals
427 * fixed bug: in case of call to client::multicall without fallback and server error
428 * fixed bug: recursive serialization of xmlrpcvals loosing specified UTF8 charset
429 * fixed bug: serializing to ISO-8859-1 with php 5 would raise an error if non-ascii
430 chars where found when decoding
431 * new: client can use NTLM and Digest authentication methods for https and http 1.1
432 connections; authentication to proxy can be set to NTLM, too
433 * new: server tolerates user functions returning a single xmlrpcval object instead
435 * new: server does more checks for presence and correct return type of user
436 coded method handling functions, and logs inconsistencies to php error log
437 * new: client method SetCaCertificate($cert, $is_dir) to validate server against
438 * new: both server and client tolerate receiving 'true' and 'false' for bool values
439 (which btw are not valid according to the xmlrpc spec)
442 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0RC3 - 2006/01/22
444 This release corrects a few bugs and adds some interesting new features.
445 It has been tested with PHP up to 4.4.2 and 5.1.2.
447 * fixed bug: server not recognizing clients that declare support for http compression
448 * fixed bug: serialization of new xmlrpcval (8, 'string') when internal encoding
450 * fixed bug: serialization of new xmlrpcval ('hello', 'int') would produce
452 * new: let the server accept 'class::method' syntax in the dispatch map
453 * new: php_xmlrpc_decode() can decode xmlrpcmessage objects
454 * new: both client and server can specify a charset to be used for serializing
455 values instead of the default 'US-ASCII+xml-entities-for-other-characters'.
456 Values allowed: ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8
457 * new: the server object can register 'plain' php functions instead of functions
458 that accept a single parameter of type xmlrpcmsg. Faster, uses less memory
459 (but comes with minor drawbacks as well, read the manual for more details)
460 * new: client::setDebug(2) can be used to have the request payload printed to
461 screen before being sent
462 * new: server::service($data) lets user parse data other than POST body, for
463 easier testing / subclassing
464 * changed: framework-generated debug messages are sent back by the server base64
465 encoded, to avoid any charset/xml compatibility problem
468 The usual refactoring of a lot of (private) methods has taken place, with new
469 parameters added to some functions.
470 Javadoc documentation has been improved a lot.
471 The HTML documentation has been shuffled around a bit, hoping to give it a more
472 logical organization.
474 The experimental support for the JSON protocol has been removed, and will be
475 packaged as a separate download with some extra very interesting stuff (human
476 readable auto-generated documentation, anyone?).
479 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0RC2 - 2005/11/22
481 This release corrects a few bugs and adds basically one new method for better
484 * fixed two bugs that prevented xmlrpc calls to take place over https
485 * fixed two bugs that prevented proper recognition of xml character set
486 when it was declared inside the xml prologue
487 * added xmlrpc_client::setKey($key, $keypass) method, to allow using client
488 side certificates for https connections
489 * fixed bug that prevented proper serialization of string xmlrpcvals when
490 $xmlrpc_internalencoding was set to UTF-8
491 * fixed bug in xmlrpc_server::echoInput() (and marked method as deprecated)
492 * correctly set cookies/http headers into xmlrpcresp objects even when the
493 send() method call fails for some reason
494 * added a benchmark file in the testsuite directory
496 A couple of (private/protected) methods have been refactored, as well as a
497 couple of extra parameters added to some (private) functions - this has no
498 impact on the public API and should be of interest primarily to people extending
499 / subclassing the lib.
501 There is also new, PARTIAL support for the JSON-RPC protocol, implemented in
502 two files in the extras dir (more info about json-rpc at http://json-rpc.org)
505 XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0RC1 - 2005/10/03
507 I'm pleased to announce XML-RPC for PHP version 2.0, release candidate 1.
509 This release introduces so many new features it is almost impossible to list them
510 here, making the library finally on pair with, if not more advanced than, any other
511 similar offer (e.g. the PEAR XMLRPC package or the Incutio IXR library).
512 No, really, trust me.
514 The minimum supported PHP version is now 4.2 - natively - or 4.0.4pl1 - by usage of
515 a couple of compatibility classes (code taken from PEAR php_compat package).
517 The placement of files and directories in the distribution has been deeply modified,
518 in the hope of making it more clear, now that the file count has increased.
519 I hope you find it easy.
521 Support for "advanced" HTTP features such as cookies, proxies and keep-alives has
524 It is now much easier to convert between xmlrpcval objects and php values, and
525 in fact php_xmlrpc_encode and php_xmlrpc_decode are now the recommended methods
526 for all cases, except when encoding base64 data.
528 Two new (experimental) functions have been added, allowing automagic conversion
529 of a php function into an xmlrpc method to be exposed and vice-versa.
531 PHP objects can be now automatically serialized as xmlrpc struct values and
532 correctly deserialized on the other end of the transmission, provided that the
533 same class definition is present on both sides and no object members are of
536 A lot of the existing class methods have been overloaded with extra parameters
537 or new functionality, and a few added ex-novo, making usage easier than ever.
539 A complete debugger solution is included in the distribution. It needs a web server
540 to run (a freely available version of the same debugger is accessible online, it
541 can be found at http://phpxmlrpc.sourceforge.net).
543 For a more detailed list of changes, please read carefully chapter 2 of the
544 included documentation, or, even better, take a look at the source code, which
545 is commented in javadoc style quite a bit.
548 XML-RPC for PHP version 1.2 - 2005/08/14
550 This removes all use of eval(), which is a potential security problem.
551 All users are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible.
552 As of this release we are no longer php3-compatible.
555 XML-RPC for PHP version 1.1.1 - 2005/06/30

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

603 is re-licensing with the BSD open source license, a move from the custom
604 license previously used.
606 After this release I expect to move the project to SourceForge and find
607 another primary maintainer for the code. More details will follow to the
