| PEAR Announce 2007-09-30, 7:04 pm |
| The new PEAR package XML_Query2XML-1.5.0RC1 (beta) has been released at http://pear.php.net/.
Release notes
-------------
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']
- XML_Query2XML now comes with 1144 phpt unit tests
Note: if 1.5.0RC1 does not cause any problems for early adopters
(which I consider very unlikely) 1.5.0 will be released next w end.
