+ * new default stub allows running of phar-based phars without phar extension [Greg/Steph]
+ * add support for tar-based and zip-based phar archives [Greg]
+ * add Phar::isTar(), Phar::isZip(), and Phar::isPhar() [Greg]
+ * add Phar::convertToTar(), Phar::convertToZip(), and Phar::convertToPhar() [Greg]
+ * add Phar::compress() [Greg]
+ * conversion to compressed or to other file formats automatically copies the archive
+   to a new extension (i.e. &quot;.phar&quot; to &quot;.phar.tar&quot; or &quot;.tar&quot; to &quot;.tar.gz&quot;) [Steph]
+ * add Phar::webPhar() for running a web-based application unmodified
+   directly from a phar archive [Greg]
+ * file functions (fopen-based and stat-based) can be instructed to only look for
+   relative paths within a phar via Phar::interceptFileFuncs()
+ * add PharData class to allow manipulation/creation of non-executable tar and zip archives. [Steph]
+   non-executable tar/zip manipulation is allowed even when phar.readonly=1 [Greg]
+ * paths with . and .. work (phar://blah.phar/a/../b.php =&gt; phar://blah.phar/b.php) [Greg]
+ * add support for mkdir()/rmdir() and support for empty directories to phar file format [Greg]
+ * add option to compress the entire phar file for phar/tar file format [Greg]
+ * implement Phar::isCompressed() returning 0, Phar::GZ or Phar::BZ2 [Greg]
+ * implement Phar::copy(string $from, string $to) [Greg]
+ * implement Phar::buildFromIterator(Iterator $it[, string $base_directory]) [Greg]
+ * implement Phar::mount() for mounting external paths or files to locations inside a phar [Greg]
