- Dramatic improvements on the performance of html_entity_decode and htmlspecialchars_decode, as the
string is now traversed only once. Speedups of 20 to 25 times with Windows release builds and a
~250 characters string (for 2nd and subsequent calls).
- Consistent behavior on html_entity_decode. For instance, the entity in "&<" would be decoded,
but not "&é". Not anymore. The code path for "basic" and non-basic entities is now mostly
shared.
- Code of html_entity_decode and htmlspecialchars_decode is now shared.
- [DOC] More consistent behavior of htmlspecialchars_decode. Instead of translating only <, >,
&, ", ' and ', now e.g. ", ', ', ', etc. are also decoded.
- [DOC] Previous translation of unicode code points in numerical entities was seriously broken. When
the code points for some character were not the same in unicode and the target encoding, the
behavior could be an erroneous translation (e.g. 0x80-0xA0 in win-1252) or no translation at all.
Added unicode translation tables for all single-byte encodings. Entities are not translated for
multi-byte entities, except for ASCII characters whose code points are shared. We could add
the huge translation tables (several thousand elements) for those encodings in the future.
- Fixed numerical entities that after # had text accepted by strcol being accepted.
- Much more commented and well-structured code...
- Tests for get_html_translation_table()) are broken. I stared fixing the tests, but then I realized
it was completely helpless because get_html_translation_table() is broken by not handling
multi-byte characters correctly.
* Deprecated getrandmax() and mt_getrandmax() in favour of the new constants
# We should promote constants for static data like such instead of function calls
# maybe this was just an old left-over
# To not change a PHPAPI in a point release, a new function have been added to support contexts:
# php_copy_file_ctx(), php_copy_file_ex() now simply wraps to that
# After looking at the logs, Jani did a bad merge into 5.3, so that
# the context parameter sent to copy() actually isn't used at all. This
# relatively simple patch fixes that for trunk.
#
# See FR #42965
# internals:
# This changes the php_copy_*() decls to contain an additional parameter for stream contexts
requests--let's see what I can dig out of the bugtracker for NEWS--
and while crossing the road:
* implemented new zlib API
* fixed up ext/tidy (what was "s&" in zend_parse_parameters() supposed to do?)
Thanks to Jani and Felipe for pioneering.
* Removed ini options, safe_mode*
* Removed --enable-safe-mode --with-exec-dir configure options on Unix
* Updated extensions, SAPI's and core
* php_get_current_user() is now declared in main.c, thrus no need to include safe_mode.h anymore
- "cannot" instead of "can not" (meaning "also can")
- "than" instead of "then" (Hint: "then" should hardly be needed;
you're not telling the order in which to do something)
... plus removed a couple ending. dots
- add nanosleep
- expose nanosleep and usleep
- [DOC] time_ nanosleep and time_ sleep_ until available on windows
- change nanosleep signature to match posix one
- [DOC] add support for all DNS function on Windows
- dns_check_record (and its alias checkdnsrr)
- dns_get_record
- IPV6 specific info not available yet:
. AAAA info is available only on vista/2k8 for now
. A6 info is not available
- dns_get_mx (and its alias getmxrr)
