- comfiguration is now done by an ini parameter
instead of a compile time option
- the implementations of the three standard wrappers
now live in seperate files in ext/standard
- the compiler is happy again, no more warnings
and currently run through a system call. This will speed up the udm_search
php frontend significantly.
@ Add a crc32 checksum function - used by the udm_search search engine
@ and currently run through a system call. This will speed up the udm_search
@ php frontend significantly. (Rasmus)
The following new/revived shared modules are available now:
... MySQL (*)
... PCRE (*)
... Session
... SWF
(*) capable of using bundled library or external library
All changes:
The m4 macro PHP_EXTENSION was revamped. Uses LIB_BUILD now.
This effectively means that all extensions have to use dynlib.
ext/mysql/config.m4 was revamped.
Uses LIB_BUILD for building bundled library.
ext/pcre/config.m4 was revamped.
Uses LIB_BUILD for building bundled library.
ext/ext_skel was changed to reflect that more modules should be
compileable as shared module.
ext/Makefile.in has been simplified enormously.
Dependencies are now stored in the build tree.
Empty dependencies are not generated by buildconf anymore. They
are now dynamically created during the build process.
Implicit rules for .S were removed.
The NO_RECURSION feature was removed.
"libs.mk" has been added to all cvsignore files in ext.
* Makefile header is now completely dynamic
* Absolute paths in (top_)?(src|build)dir and VPATH
(fixes Tru64 support)
* VPATH does not contain variables anymore
(fixes UnixWare support)
@- Added natural comparison/sorting routines strnatcmp(), strnatcasecmp(),
@ natsort(), and natcasesort(). These are useful for comparing and sorting
@ strings that contain numbers. Based on the code from Martin Pool
@ <mbp@humbug.org.au>. See http://www.linuxcare.com.au/projects/natsort/
@ for more info on natural sorting. (Andrei)
- added support for externally built modules,
- improved support for in-tree shared modules,
- fixed diversion bugs,
- configure displays some informative messages,
- faster static build
(libtool isn't used anymore for compiling non-PIC objects),
- dependencies comparable to automake's without requiring GNU make or GCC,
- working make clean for non-GNU makes.
