USE_GCC2 or USE_GCC3 where appropriate.
the functionality of the old gcc.buildlink2.mk has been rolled into
compiler.mk now, which is automatically used.
more changes to come later...
Some highlights of changes since 4.2.3:
* PCRE updated to 4.3, GD to 2.0.15
* improved Apache2 support
* much improved stream & URL wrapper support, output compression support
* added CLI (Command Line Interface) SAPI
* debug_backtrace() backported from ZendEngine2
* faster build system
* huge number of other bug fixes and improvements
Packaging changes:
* 'pcre', 'xml', and 'session' modules folded back into main package -
'pcre' and 'xml' is required by PEAR, and 'session' is just too essential
to be separate
* 'gd' module now uses bundled PHP GD library, which is better integrated
* PHP modules use shared distinfo when possible to ease future PHP updates
* ${PREFIX}/bin/php is now CLI version, ${PREFIX}/libexec/cgi-big/php
remains CGI version
generalise the linker flags used to export symbols by setting them on
a per-OS basis.

- Fixed start up failure when mm save handler is used and there is multiple
SAPIs are working at the same time. (Yasuo)
- Fixed a buffer overflow in the RFC-1867 file upload code (Stefan)
<===> SECURITY NOTE <===>
Note that the buffer overflow fix is a major security fix. Quoting from
the security advisory at:
http://security.e-matters.de/advisories/012002.html
"PHP supports multipart/form-data POST requests (as described in RFC1867)
known as POST fileuploads. Unfourtunately there are several flaws in the
php_mime_split function that could be used by an attacker to execute
arbitrary code. During our research we found out that not only PHP4 but
also older versions from the PHP3 tree are vulnerable.
[...]
"If you are running PHP 4.0.3 or above one way to workaround these bugs is
to disable the fileupload support within your php.ini (file_uploads = Off).
If you are running php as module keep in mind to restart the webserver.
Anyway you should better install the fixed or a properly patched version to
be safe."
- Fixed a bug which caused set_time_limit() to affect all subsequent requests
to running Apache child process. (Zeev)
- Added peak memory logging. Use --enable-memory-limit to create a new Apache
1.x logging directive "{mod_php_memory_usage}n" which will log the peak
amount of memory used by the script. (Thies)
- Bug fixes (memory leaks and other errors)
- Made $HTTP_SESSION_VARS['foo'] and $foo be references to the same value
when register_globals is on. (Andrei)
- Added is_callable() function that can be used to find out whether
its argument is a valid callable construct. (Andrei)
- Added pg_last_notice() function. (Rasmus from suggestion by Dirk@rackspace.com)
- Added support to getimagesize to return dimensions of BMP and PSD
files. (Derick)
- Added Japanese multibyte string functions support. (Rui)
- Added key_exists() to check if a given key or index exists in an
array or object. (David Croft)
- Added -C command-line option to avoid chdir to the script's directory. (Stig)
- printf argnum (parameter swapping) support. (Morten Poulsen, Rasmus)
- Modified get_parent_class() and get_class_methods() to accept a class name as
well as a class instance. (Andrei, Zend Engine)
- Added array_map() function that applies a callback to the elements
of given arrays and returns the result. It can also be used with a
null callback to transpose arrays. (Andrei)
- Added array_filter(), which allows filtering of array elements via
the specified callback. (Andrei)
first component is now a package name+version/pattern, no more
executable/patchname/whatnot.
While there, introduce BUILD_USES_MSGFMT as shorthand to pull in
devel/gettext unless /usr/bin/msgfmt exists (i.e. on post-1.5 -current).
Patch by Alistair Crooks <agc@netbsd.org>
* Move most of Makefile logic into ../php4/Makefile.common.
* Move patches and files into ../php4.
* Depend on php-4.0.3pl1.
The version number bump was necessary as php4 conflicts with the old
ap-php4-4.0.3pl1 package.
