+|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
+December 24 1998, Version 3.0.6
+- Fix GetImageSize() to work with non-standard jpg images
+- Add Mersenne Twister functions (mt_rand, mt_srand, etc)
+- Add str_replace() function
+- Add chunk_split() function
+- Fixed a bug in the memory limit code, in cases where $php_errormsg was
+  also used.
+- Add iptcparse() function
+- Adobe FDF supported
+- getallheaders() NULL string fix <michale@utko.fee.vutbr.cz>
+- Add all configuration directives to phpinfo() page
+- Functions pack() and unpack() rewritten to be binary and buffer overrun
+  safe and behave like the Perl functions for all implemented format codes.
+- Ensured that msql_error() will not return error messages generated by
+  previously-run scripts.
+- Add base_convert() function
+- Make sprintf() and printf() output binary safe
+- Made gzgetc binary safe
+- Add convert_cyr_string() and quoted_printable_decode() functions
+- Fix ldap_free_result() core dump bug
+- Add support for current OpenLDAP-2.0-devel library
+- Add php3_asp_tags directive so it can be set from Apache config files
+- Added UTF-8 support in the XML extension
+- Make rand(min,max) safer on older platforms where the low-order bits have 
+  short cycles.
+- Added new pdf (Portable Document Format) module
+- Added an XML parsing extension using James Clark's "expat" library
+- Optimized parts of the token cache code.
+- Terminate on out-of-memory errors.  Until now, PHP could crash in out of
+  memory situations (clean-up, no real effect).
+- Unterminated comments in include files were being reported with the wrong line
+  number.  Fixed.
+- Added ImageCopy() and ImageColorDeallocate(). ImageCopy() is about
+  20% faster than ImageCopyResized(). ImageColorDeallocate() marks
+  palette entries free for reuse (by <mka@satama.com>).
+- In the CGI version, it was impossible to access resources (e.g. SQL links,
+  images) from user-defined shutdown functions.  Fixed.
+- Added optional third parameter to strpos() to specify the offset to
+  start searching from.
+- Fixed a crash bug in unset() when unsetting illegal variables (rare).
+- Made ImageInterlace and ImageTransparentColor parameters optional, and made
+  them return the current/new settings.
+- Optimized GetImageSize() <thies@digicol.de>.
+- Made odbc_autocommit() without args return status
+- Added connect workaround for OpenLink ODBC
+- Added minimal InterBase support. Tested only on 4.0 & Linux.
+- Fixed some memory leaks and bogus error messages in the URL handler of
+  the various file open functions.  Should only affect error handling
+  in bad URLs.
+
+October 5 1998 Version 3.0.5
+- mysql_field_flags now reports all MySQL flags and the result is suitable
+  for automatic parsing. Compatibility warning: The result format has
+  changed. If you have scripts parsing the result of this function, you
+  may need to adapt them.
+- Made nl2br() binary safe (not that it's of much use).
+- Fixed a bug in the API function getThis().  It affected mostly the dir
+  functions, if nested within objects.
+- Fixed a problem in require() in conjunction with switch(), and in some other
+  cases.  Also fixed an identical problem with the call_user_function() API
+  function.
+- Removed -lpthread when compiling with MySQL support.  It caused various
+  serious problems when compiled into Apache.
+- Add serialize() and unserialize() functions from jkl@njet.net
+- Fix in_addr_t check for systems with in_addr_t in netinet/in.h
+- Add atan2() function
+
+September 22 1998 Version 3.0.4
+- Added uksort() - array key sort using a user defined comparison function.
+- Added 'j' support to date() - generates the day of the month, without
+  possible leading zeros.
+- Added support for multiple crypt() encryptions if the system supports it
+- Added optional support for ASP-style <% %> and <%= tags
+- Fixed data loss problems with very large numeric array indices on 64-bit
+  platforms (e.g. DEC UNIX).
+- 2 cursor_type parameters for ifx_query() and ifx_prepare changed
+  to 1 (bitmask). Added a few constants for use in Informix module.
+- Added php3.ini option ifx.charasvarchar. If set, trailing blanks
+  are stripped from fixed-length char columns. (Makes life easier
+  for people using Informix SE.)
+- Static SNMP module which compiles with ucd-snmp 3.5.2
+- fixed imap_header & header_info from crashing when a header line
+  is > 1024 characters.
+- Added patch for rfc822_parse_adr to return an array of objects instead 
+  of a single object. 
+- Informix Online 7.x & SE 7.x support now fairly complete and stable
+- Add dbase_get_record_with_names() function
+- Added a special case for open_basedir. When open_basedir is set to "."
+  the directory in which the script is stored will be used as basedir.
+- Include alloca.c in the distribution for platforms without alloca().
+- Improved stripping of URL passwords from error messages - the length of the
+  username/password isn't obvious now, and all protocols are handled properly
+  (most importantly, http).
+- Copying objects that had member functions with static variables produced
+  undetermined results.  Fixed.
+- Added function lstat() and cleaned up the status functions,
+  added tests for file status functions (this may break on some plattforms)
+- Fixed is_link() - it was returning always false.
+- Fixed apache_note() - it was corrupting memory.
+- New Function.  void get_meta_tags(string filename);  Parses filename until
+  closing head tag and turns all meta tags into variables prefixed with 'meta_'.
+  The below meta tag would produce $meta_test="some string here"
+	<meta name="test" content="some string here">
+- Generalized some internal functions in order to better support calling
+  user-level functions from C code.  Fixes a few sporadic problems related
+  to constructors inside eval() and more.
+- Fixed an endless loop in explode(), strstr() and strpos() in case of an
+  invalid empty delimiter.
+- rand() now accepts two optional arguments, which denote the requested range
+  of the generated number.  E.g., rand(3,7) would generate a random number
+  between 3 and 7.
+- Added M_PI constant.
+- Added deg2rad() and rad2deg() for converting radians<->degrees.
+- ImageArc() misbehaved when given negative angles, fixed.
+- Fixed a bug in ereg() that may have caused buglets under some circumstances.
+- Added imap_status
+- Shutdown functions, registered via register_shutdown_function(), could never
+  generate output in the Apache module version.  Fixed.
+- Brought IMAP docs into sync with acutal imap code
+- imap_fetchstructure now takes in optional flags 
+- Fix potential core dumps in imap_append and imap_fetchtext_full
+- Fix problem in SetCookie() function related to long cookies
+- Add uasort() function to go along with usort (like sort() and asort())
+- Add port number to Host header as per section 14.23 of the HTTP 1.1 RFC
+- Fix imap_reopen to only take 2 arguments with an optional 3rd flags arg
+- Add optional 2nd argument to imap_close
+- Add CL_EXPUNGE flag to imap_open() flags
+- Fix 4th arg on imap_append().  It was getting converted to a long by mistake.
+- Fix shutdown warning in the LDAP module
+- *COMPATIBILITY WARNING* imap_fetchstructure() "parametres" object and property
+  name changed to "parameters" to match the documentation and to be consistent
+  with the rest of the API.
+- Delete uploaded temporary files automatically at the end of a request
+- Add upload_max_filesize and correponsing php3_upload_max_filesize directive
+  to control the maximum size of an uploaded file.  Setting this to 0 would
+  completely eliminate file uploads.
+- Force $PHP_SELF to PATH_INFO value when running in CGI FORCE_CGI_REDIRECT mode
+- Add apache_lookup_uri() function which does an internal sub-request lookup
+  and returns an object containing the request_rec fields for the URI.  (Yes,
+  you have to be a bit of a gearhead to figure this one out)
+- Fix a few signed char problems causing functions like ucfirst() not to work
+  correctly with non-English charsets
+- md5() function not binary safe - fixed
+
+August 15 1998 Version 3.0.3
+- Changed the name of fopen_basedir to open_basedir, to be a little more
+  accurate about what it does.
+- Added Hyperwave module
+- Added config-option (php3_)enable_dl <on/off>. This enables/disables the
+  dl() function.  In safe-mode dl() is always disabled.
+- Auto-prepended files were crashing under some circumstances - fixed.
+- Win32 mail fixes provided by walton@nordicdms.com
+- Comparing between arrays and/or objects now generates a warning (it always
+  returns false, as it used to;  no comparison is made)
+- Fixed a bug in the syntax highlighting code, that made ending-double-quotes
+  appear twice under certain circumstances.
+- Fix bug in filetype() function related to symlinks
+- Started integrating Informix SE support to PHP configure/makefile setup.
+- gdttf roundoff fixes from ellson@lucent.com
+- Added initial Informix SE support files from Danny Heijl - This code still
+  needs to be integrated into the PHP configure/makefile setup and the code
+  itself needs more work.
+- return in the global scope now terminates the execution of the current file.
+- Added the ability to register shutdown function(s), via
+  register_shutdown_function($function_name).
+- Clean up const warnings
+- Add write support to ftp fopen wrappers
+- Add strspn() and strcspn() functions
+- On systems without strerror use Apache version if compiling as Apache module
+- The PHP start tag was being ignored under some circumstances - fixed.
+- The db, dbase and filepro functions are now Safe-Mode aware.
+- Added config-option (php3_)fopen_basedir <path>. This limits the directory-
+  tree scripts can open files in to <path>.
+- Fixed pg_loreadall that didn't always return all the contents in a PostgreSQL
+  large object. Also, doesn't pass through anything if method is HEAD.
+- configure fix to create target Apache module dir
+- Fix core dump in imageTTFtext() function
+- Added static IMAP support
+- Syntax highlighting was generating additional whitespace - fixed.
+- Added ucwords.  Works like ucfirst, but works on all words within a string.
+- Added array_walk() - apply user function to every element of an array
+- Added usort() - array sort that accepts a user defined comparison function!
+- Added the ability to call user-level functions and object methods on demand
+  from the C source using a completely generalized, slick API function.
+  Miracles do happen every once in a while.
+- Added constructors.  Don't even squeek about destructors! :) (we mean that)
+- Make pg_lowrite() binary safe
+- Fixed mod_charset option in ./setup
+- Fixed rewinddir() and dir()::rewind() under Win32 (they didn't work before).
+- Add Win32 COM support!  By-name referencing is supported using the IDispatch
+  interface (automation).  Available functions - COM_Load(), COM_Invoke(),
+  COM_PropGet() and COM_PropSet().
+  
+July 20 1998 Version 3.0.2a
+- Fix a quirk in the configuration file parser, the endless fountain of joy
+  and fun.
+- Fix a bug in the API function add_method() that made dir() crash.
+

+- Fixed a bug in the Sybase-DB module.  Several numeric field types were
+  getting truncated when having large values.
+- Added testpages for unified odbc
+- Fix php -s seg fault when filename was missing
+- Made getdate() without args default to current time
+- Added ImageColorResolve() and some fixes to the freetype support.
+- Added strcasecmp()
+- Added error_prepend_string and error_append_string .ini and .conf directives
+  to make it possible to configure the look of error messages displayed by PHP
+  to some extent
+- Added E_ERROR, E_WARNING, E_NOTICE, E_PARSE and E_ALL constants, that can be
+  used in conjunction with error_reporting()
+  (e.g. error_reporting(E_ERROR|E_WARNING|E_NOTICE);
+- Fixed a crash problem with classes that contained function(s) with default
+  values.
+- Fixed a problem in the browscap module.  Browscap files weren't being read
+  properly.
+- Fix -L path in libphp3.module to make ApacheSSL compile without errors
+- Fix StripSlashes so it correctly decodes a \0 to a NUL
+
+July 04 1998 Version 3.0.1
+- echo/print of empty strings don't trigger sending the header anymore.
+- Implemented shift left and shift right operators (<< and >>)
+- Compile fix for cc on HP-UX.
+- Look for beta-version Solid libraries as well.
+- Make GD module show more info in phpinfo().
+- Compile fix for NextStep 3.0.
+- Fix for Oracle extension on OSF/1.
+- Fix gd 1.3 bug in ImageColorAt().
+- pg_loread() hopefully handles binary data now.
+- Turned off some warnings in dns.c
+- Added ImageTTFBBox() and made ImageTTFText() return bounding box.
+- Added constants for Ora_Bind()'s modes.
+- Renamed all hash_*() routines to _php3_hash_*() to avoid clashes with other
+  libraries.
+- Changed uodbc default LONG behaviour: longreadlen 4096 bytes, binmode 1.
+  The module now actually uses the php.ini settings.
+- New PostgreSQL functions:  pg_fetch_row(), pg_fetch_array()
+  and pg_fetch_object()
+- Fix a segmentation fault when calling invalid functions in certain
+  circumstances
+- Fix bug that caused link-related functions to not pay attention to
+  run-time safe mode setting (it was using whatever was set at compile time).
+- Fix bug in exec() function when used in safe mode
+
+June 6 1998 Version 3.0
+- Add checkdnsrr function (check availability DNS records)
+- Add getmxrr function (get MX hostnames and weights)
+- Fixed bug in nl2br() function
+- Fix for an RC5 related problem in the Sybase module, when dealing
+  with very long data types.
+- Speed up string concatenation by roughly a factor of 2
+- Add escape-handling to date function
+- Make base64 functions binary safe
+- Add strrpos function to complement strpos function added in RC5
+- Add ltrim function (strips only at the start of string)
+- Add rtrim as an alias to chop() for completeness sake
+- Add trim function (similar to chop, except it strips at the start as well)
+- Added 2 optional args to fsockopen function - errno and errstr
+- Fixed bug in split() function related to leading matches
+- Fixed problem in error_log() function (thanks to Jan Legenhausen)
+- empty("0") was returning true - fixed
+- Removed the old sybsql module.  Use the new sybase_*() functions instead.
+- Several fixes to the configuration file parser
+- LDAP fixes - fixed return values on several functions
+
+May 23 1998 Version 3.0RC5
+- The BC math library functions now compile in by default.
+- Fixed a bug in virtual() and other types of SSI's (e.g. <!--#exec).  Under
+  certain circumstances, this used to result in random problems.
+- Fixed a bug in virtual().  It was misbehaving if it was called before any
+  other output.
+- Added mysql.default_port, mysql.default_host, mysql.default_user and
+  mysql.default_password ini-file directives.
+- Improved handling of the MySQL default port.  It now honors /etc/services
+  and $MYSQL_TCP_PORT.
+- Fixed a crash in opening of broken ftp:// URLs, and improved error reporting
+  in opening of URLs.
+- Fixed several non-critical scanner issues with syntax highlighting mode and
+  the <script language=php> tag.
+- Fixed fseek on windows.  (windows only): fseek will not return proper results
+  on files opened as text mode.  PHP uses binary mode as the default for file
+  operations, but this can be overiden by fopen.  Do not open files in text
+  mode and use fseek on them!
+- Add strpos() function
+- Added zlib module, requires zlib >= 1.0.9
+- Improved the module API implementation.  Dynamic modules may now register
+  persistent resources (not that it makes much sense, but at least PHP
+  won't crash).  The API itself remains unchanged.
+- bcmod() wasn't always behaving like modulus should behave (it was behaving
+  exactly like GNU bc's % operator).  Fixed.
+- Changed the Sybase-DB module to always return strings, instead of auto-typing
+  result sets.  This was done for consistency with the other database modules,
+  and in order to avoid overflows due to the platform-dependant limitations
+  of the numeric data types of PHP.  You can turn compatability mode on using
+  the sybase.compatability_mode directive in the php3.ini file.
+- Fixed problems with the TINYINT field in the Sybase-CT module.
+- Applied some small speed optimizations to the Sybase-DB module querying code.
+- Added 'numeric' and 'type' properties to the object returned by
+  sybase_fetch_field().
+- The 'new' operator doesn't accept all expressions anymore.  Instead, it
+  accepts a class name, or a variable reference (scalar, array element, etc).
+- Add ora_numcols() function
+- Add ora_do() and ora_fetch_into() functions to Oracle driver
+- Add persistent connection support to Oracle driver
+- Make Oracle driver clean up open connections and open cursors automatically
+- Added fread() and fwrite() that properly handle binary data.
+- Add Ora_ColumnSize() to Oracle code
+- The string "0" means FALSE again.  This was done in order to maintain type
+  conversion consistency.
+- Added solid_fetch_prev() for fetching the previous result row from Solid.
+- Huge integers are now automatically converted to floating point numbers
+  (that have a wider range).
+- Floating point numbers are now displayed using scientific notation when
+  they're extremely big or extremely small.  The 'precision' php3.ini directive
+  no longer designates the number of decimal digits, but rather, the maximum
+  number of significant digits required.
+- Added support for scientific notation for floating point numbers (e.g. 1E7)
+  throughout the entire language.
+- Fixed a potential/probable memory corruption problem with HEAD request
+  handling.
+- Using un-encapsulated strings now generates a NOTICE-level warning
+  (e.g. $a = foo; instead of $a = "foo";)
+- Added defined("name") function to check if a certain constant is defined
+  or not.
+- Support new Apache mechanism for setting SERVER_SUBVERSION
+- Added PHP_OS and PHP_VERSION constants
+- Added the ability to define constants in runtime!  Constants are script-wide,
+  (there's no scope, once the constant is defined, it's valid everywhere).
+  Syntax is define("name", $value [, $case_insensitive]).  'name' can be any name
+  that is a valid variable name, *without* the $ prefix.  'value' can be
+  any *scalar* value.  If the optional 'case_insensitive' parameter is 1,
+  then the constant is created case-insensitive (the default is case
+  sensitive).  Note:  define() is currently *NOT* supported in preprocessed
+  scripts.
+- Added general support for constants.  The Syslog constants (e.g.
+  LOG_ERR, LOG_CRIT, etc.) should be accessed as constants from now on (that
+  is, without a $ prefix).  You can still set define_syslog_variables to On
+  in the php3.ini file if you want to define the various $ variables.  The
+  default for this directive in the php3.ini-dist file has been changed to
+  Off.
+- The configuration file path variable now expands . and .. into their
+  respective directories.  You can obtain the path of the php3.ini file
+  that was used by printing get_cfg_var("cfg_file_path").
+- Fixed a crash-recovery parser crash ($a=7; $a[3]+=5;)
+- Add gmmktime() function
+- Fixed a crash with implode() and empty arrays.
+- Fixed a bug that, under fairly rare circumstances, caused PHP not to
+  recognize if(), require() and other statements as statements, and
+  to complain about them as being unsupported functions.
+- Beautified php3.ini-dist and added more comments to it.  Also changed
+  the behavior of the configuration file parser to be brighter about
+  the various constants (TRUE/FALSE/ON/OFF etc).
+- Fixed a bug in openlog() - the specified device name was being mangled.
+- Memory leaks were sometimes reported erroneously - fixed.
+- Improved the convertor to handle some quirks of the PHP/FI 2 parser with
+  comments.
+- Fixed number_format() to properly handle negative numbers, and optimized it
+  a bit.
+- Fixed static variables inside class member functions.  Note that using such
+  static variables inside member functions usually defeats the purpose of
+  objects, so it is not recommended.
+- Fixed a bug in fpassthru() (the file was being closed twice).
+- Added strftime().
+- Add set_socket_blocking() function to control blocking on socket fd's
+- The sendmail_path in php3.ini was being ignored - fixed.
+- Fixed a bug with file upload, with files that contained the MIME boundary
+  inside them.
+- Fixed a bug with form variables of type array, with spaces in their
+  index (e.g. name="foo[bar bar]").
+- gd-1.3 autodetect and support
+- Year 2000 compliance is now togglable from the php3.ini file.  Setting PHP
+  to be y2k compliant effects the way it creates cookies, and means it'll
+  NOT work with many browsers out there that are not y2k compliant!  For
+  that reason, the default for this option is off.
+- safe mode / fix from monti@vesatec.com
+- Integrated the FreeType support in the GD extension.
+- Added --with-gd=DIR and --without-gd options to configure
+
+April 18 1998 Version 3.0 Release Candidate 4
+- Auto-prepended and auto-appended files were reporting the wrong filename
+  in errors and in __FILE__ - fixed.
+- Fix GPC problem related to mixed scalar and array vars with the same name
+- Made putenv() Apache-safe.  Environment variables may no longer leak in
+  between requests.
+- The trailing semicolon is no longer required in class declarations.
+- Fixed a memory leak in the (array) and (object) operators under certain
+  conditions.
+- <script> tags weren't working unless short tags were enabled - Fixed.
+- Fixed a bug in certain array indices that weren't treated as numbers
+  even though they looked like numbers (e.g. "10", "20").
+- Changes to support renamed API functions in Apache-1.3
+- Fixed the -p and -e command line switches
+- Fix a segfault when calling command line version without parameters
+- Fix for feof() when used on a socket
+- Fix off-by-one error in fgets() when used on a socket
+- Fix bug in ImageSetPixel() (Thanks to ecain@Phosphor.net)
+
+March 31 1998 Version 3.0 Release Candidate 3
+- Tiny bugfix for magic_quotes_sybase
+- Fix Apache build problems introduced in RC2
+- $a["0"]==$a[0] fix
+- Apache-1.3 build changes to support 100% automatic builds and shared library
+  module builds.  See INSTALL file.
+ 
+March 30 1998 Version 3.0 Release Candidate 2
+- Changed the socket implementation under UNIX to not use FILE pointers, in
+  order to work around the buggy Solaris libc (and possibly buggy libc's
+  in other platforms).
+- Fixed a bug in min() and max() with certain arrays.
+- *WARNING* Move Apache 1.3 php3 file install to src/modules/php3 instead of 
+  src/modules/extra.  Make sure you change your AddModule line correctly
+  in your Apache Configuration file.  This change is to take advantage of 
+  new Apache-1.3 configuration mechanism which makes it easier to build an
+  Apache server with PHP automatically enabled.  It will also help building
+  a shared library module version of PHP soon.
+- Fixed a crash bug with auto-appended files.
+- Made --enable-discard-path work on all Unix servers #!/path/php CGI scripts 
+  should now work everywhere.  I have tested on Apache, WN and Netscape 2.0
+- Made $a["123"] and $a[123] be identical.  $a["0123"] is still different,
+  though.
+- Added 'precision' ini directive, to set the number of decimal digits
+  displayed for floating point numbers (default - 6).
+- Made integer/integer divisions evaluate to floating point numbers when
+  applicable (e.g., 5/2==2.5(float), but 4/2==2(int))
+- Get rid of reliance on tied streams and move all socket reads and writes
+  to recv/send calls
+- Cleaned up head.c a bit and fixed CGI SetCookie order problem
+- Changed default variable parsing order to Get-Cookie-Post (GPC)
+- Fixed setup so it has all configure options and defaults.
+- Added optional decimal point and thousands seperator to number_format()
+  e.g., number_format(1500,2,',','.') == 1.500,00
+- Fixed cgi bug in windows that prevented files from being parsed on many
+  systems and servers.
+
+March 23 1998 Version 3.0 Release Candidate
+- Added support for the Raima database (ALPHA)
+- Fixed a bug in persistent PostgreSQL links and the connection-string method.
+- Added EXTENSION_STATUS file, that specifies the stability and status of
+  every module in the distribution.
+- Added optional parameters to user functions with default values, variables
+  that are forced to be passed by reference and variables that can be
+  optionally passed by reference.  The ini file directive
+  'ignore_missing_userfunc_args' is no longer supported.
+- Added fhttpd support (by Alex Belits)
+- Improved performance by approximately 20-30%.
+- Added mysql_error(), mysql_errno() (if available) and msql_error().
+  Errors coming back from the database backend no longer issue warnings.
+  Instead, use these functions to retreive the error.
+- Patched count(), each(), prev(), next(), reset() and end() to work around
+  the implementation side effects of unset().  As far as the users are
+  concerned, this should be transparent now (even though it's slower now,
+  until it's thoroughly fixed in 3.1).
+- Added number_format().  number_format(2499,2)=='2,499.00'.
+- error_reporting() now sets the error reporting level to the supplied
+  argument, without any interpretations.
+- Fixed a lookahead parser bug that occured under rare circumstances.
+- Change the comparison operators to compare numeric strings as numbers.  If
+  you want to compare them as strings, you can use the new C-like strcmp()
+- Fixed Ora_GetColumn() bug when fetching strings
+- Added Ora_ColumnName() and Ora_ColumnType()
+- Preliminary LONG and LONG RAW support in Oracle extension
+- Add \123 and \xAB style octal and hex escapes to "" and `` strings
+- Add "-c" command line flag for specifying path to php3.ini file
+- Improved list() so that elements can be skipped, for example:
+  list($name,,,$realname) = explode(":",fgets($passwd_file));
+- Fixed a tiny bug in the hash initialization which caused excessive use of
+  memory. Report and fix by short@k332.feld.cvut.cz
+- Fixed strtolower() and strtoupper() to work with 8-bit chars
+- Fixed to compile and run on SunOS 4.1

+  and didn't work with arrays.
+- Made [m,My]SQL create/drop database functions return success status
+- Fixed some memory leak/crash problems in the Adabas module
+- Added each() in order to allow for easy and correct array traversing.
+- Make Apache module version respect LOCALE setting
+- Add support for Apache 1.3b6+ ap_config.h file
+- Fixed a nasty corruption bug in eval() and show_source() that resulted in
+  script termination (e.g. eval("exit();").
+- Fixed a syntax highlighting problem with keywords used as variable
+  names.
+- Fixed a possible crash and/or file descriptor leak
+- Fixed line number being off by one in #! shell style execution
+- Made it possible to disable auto_prepend/append with "none" filename
+- Allow safe CGI calling through #!php style scripts
+
+March 2 1998 Version 3.0b6
+- Made [s]printf handle %ld
+- Changed CGI version to only open regular files as input script
+- Added ignore_missing_userfunc_args directive to suppress warnings messages
+  about missing arguments to user-defined functions

+- Changed CGI version to use PATH_TRANSLATED as the script file name
+- Link with solid shared library instead of static one
+- Fixed a crash with functions that aren't being called correctly
+- Fixed file descriptor leak in auto-prepend/append
+- Imap module is usable. See README in dl/imap.
+
+February 24 1998 Version 3.0b5
+- Made the URL aware file functions be enabled by default

+- Fix Apache-1.3 related SIGHUP problem which was preventing php3.ini from 
+  getting re-read on a SIGHUP

+- Walked around an implementation side effect of switch().  <? switch(expr) { ?>
+  now works.
+- Added memory caching, resulting in a significant performance boost
+- Added support for for(): .. endfor; loops
+- Added a new predicate - empty($var).  Returns true if $var is not set,

+  of highlighting a file, it syntax highlights the contents of its
+  argument.
+- Renamed show_source() to highlight_file().  show_source() is still

+  under Windows.
+- Fixed ereg_replace replacing empty matches and a one off buffer overflow
+- Fixed File upload on windows platform
+- Fixed a bug that caused 'HTTP/1.1 100 Continue' messages with 
+  Internet Explorer 4.0 and certain scripts that receive POST variables
+- Get/POST/Cookie data variables are from now *ALWAYS* strings.  If you want
+  to use them in integer/real context, you must explicitly change their types.

+- Made the regexp function automatically take arguments by reference
+  when necessary
+- Added builtin support for auto append and prepend in the parser level
+- Improved the Sybase/CT sybase_query().  Should be more stable now, and
+  hopefully work with a wider range of queries.  It's difficult to work
+  without docs, though, so it may still not be 100% right...
+- Changed error messages to show error type, file and line with bold
+- Added support for autoprepend and autoprepend
+- Added some more warning flags if gcc is used
+
+December 03 1997 Version 3.0a4
+- Improved the internal functions API - no need to explicitly pass
+  parameters by reference to internal functions that specifically
+  require them, e.g. sort(), ksort(), reset(), count(), etc.

+  in the sense that you can explicitly pass the arguments by reference
+  if you want to.
+- use srandom/random instead of srand/rand if available

+  library!
+- Beautified phpinfo()
+- Add ImageColorClosest() and ImageColorExact() GD functions
+- Make all .ini directives work as Apache .conf directives as well
