XML_Query2XML 1.7.0

2008-05-02T14:10:53-05:00

This feature release brings the following additions:
- new driver for PEAR Net_LDAP2: XML_Query2XML_Driver_LDAP2
- options 'limit' and 'offset' now supported by the MDB2 and DB drivers;
thanks to Johnny Cheng from openflyers.org for this feature request
- improved logging: now also logs the variables with which a prepared
statement is executed
- consolidation of unit tests for different database drivers; use
the environment variable PHP_PEAR_XML_QUERY2XML_TEST_DBLAYER to
set the database driver to be used (MDB2,DB,PDO,ADOdbDefault,
ADOdbPEAR or ADOdbException). Also use the environment variable
PHP_PEAR_XML_QUERY2XML_TEST_LDAPLAYER to set the LDAP driver
to be used (LDAP or LDAP2). Then simply run
'pear run-tests -p XML_Query2XML'
Note: no changes were introduced since 1.7.0RC1.

XML_Query2XML 1.5.0

2007-10-07T15:32:08-05:00

This seventh stable release comes after extensive re-factoring:
- XML_Query2XML now does a lot of internal pre-processing
- this improves performance by at least 30%
- all exceptions now contain information that relates to the
configuration option that caused the exception to be thrown
- caching is now deactivated by default as is not needed in
most cases; see $options['sql_options']['cached']

2007-09-30T15:17:45-05:00

This release candidate comes after extensive re-factoring:
- XML_Query2XML now does a lot of internal pre-processing
- this improves performance by at least 30%
- all exceptions now contain information that relates to the
configuration option that caused the exception to be thrown
- caching is now deactivated by default as is not needed in
most cases; see $options['sql_options']['cached']

(which I consider very unlikely) 1.5.0 will be released next weekend.

2007-09-03T14:56:42-05:00

This sixth stable release contains a couple of new features:
- PDO support - this also adds support for SQLite 3 (thanks to
John P. McCaskey for pointing out the lack of SQLite 3 support)
- all unit tests now run with SQLite 2 by default; unit tests
for PDO and PEAR MDB2 will therefore work out of the box
- XML_Query2XML now comes with 1084 phpt unit tests

for making me implement this feature)
- support for dynamic XML element names determined at run time
(see the dynamicRowTag option; thanks to John P. McCaskey for
requesting this feature)
- XML_Query2XML now comes with 913 phpt unit tests

http://query2xml.sf.net/docs/html/XML_Query2XML/tutorial_XML_Query2XML.pkg.html#dumpdatabase
Thanks to vikram dot melonfire at gmail dot com for raising the issue of database dumps

than ISO-8859-1; see the 'encoder' option:
http://query2xml.sf.net/docs/html/XML_Query2XML/tutorial_XML_Query2XML.pkg.html#query2xml_getxml.options_encoder
Thanks to Mickael Guerin for making me implement this feature that has been sitting on my
todo list for quite some time now.
