* improved: all php code is now formatted according to the PSR-2 standard
-* improved: this release 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: 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)

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