PHP_CompatInfo 1.9.0RC1

2009-01-03T06:39:47-05:00

* IMPORTANT
- if you are PHP5 user only:
use the pciconf script to build your own extension support list
- if you are PHP4 user only:
pciconf script required at least PHP5 to run, so to build your own support list,
do it by hand. All major extensions and their PCI dictionaries are available
on PEAR CVS [http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pear/PHP_CompatInfo/CompatInfo/]
- A more comprehensive guide will be available for final stable release, ready for
PhD system and new PEAR Manual.

* changes since beta2
- pciconf script did not used anymore the monolithic versions.xml and funclist.txt
data sources. Version information about extensions came from specific extension version.xml
file that are installed into PEAR/data/PHP_CompatInfo/phpdocref

* bugs fixed since beta2
- CSV, HTML and XML renderers did not provided expected result
due to new classes result-key entry
- lost partial functions list information when parsing multiple data sources
with debug mode

* news since beta2
- add function getSummary() to print only summary when parsing a directory
or multiple data sources at once
