- added support for externally built modules,
- improved support for in-tree shared modules,
- fixed diversion bugs,
- configure displays some informative messages,
- faster static build
(libtool isn't used anymore for compiling non-PIC objects),
- dependencies comparable to automake's without requiring GNU make or GCC,
- working make clean for non-GNU makes.
with libtool components
* SAPI targets can enable thread-safe mode and define
shared/static/program build target
* all configure scripts use the same config.cache
* phplibdir is $(top_builddir)/modules to avoid
permission problems
* sapi/*/Makefile.inc are gone
* runpath handling cleaned up
* top-level Makefile.in obsoleted through Makefile.am
* --enable-versioning uses libtool's cleaner and more
portable -export-symbols feature
- Made it possible to specify external location of the PCRE library
- Reworked PCRE extension to use updated PCRE library API
Hopefully now everything behaves just like Perl..
-Updated preg_replace() code to handle stuff properly
-Removed ability to specify external PCRE library source to link against
(since our bundled version is patched now)
PCRE library can be found at ftp://ftp.cus.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programs/pcre/
config.m4 will be updated to be more robust later on.
perl_match() takes a regular expression, the source string, and the array
for subpattern matches.
perl_replace() takes a regular expression, the search string, and the replacement
string.
Regular expression is specified using delimiters and options. Example:
perl_match("/<[a-z]*>/i", $text, $tags);
More stuff is coming soon.
