add support for building extensions off PECL; version for PECL packages
is built as ${PHP_BASE_VERS}.${PECL_VERSION}, i.e. PECL pkg version 1.0
would become php-pkg-4.3.9.1.0 or php-pkg-5.0.2.1.0 respectively
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.

exhaustion
* Fixed strip_tags() to correctly handle '\0' characters.
* Rewritten UNIX and Windows install help files.
* Fixed a file-descriptor leak with phpinfo() and other 'special' URLs.
* Fixed possible crash inside php_shutdown_config().

* Fixed imagecreatefromstring() crashes with external GD library.
* Fixed fgetcsv() parsing of strings ending with escaped enclosures.
* Fixed overflow in array_slice(), array_splice(), substr(), substr_replace(),
strspn(), strcspn().

* Allow bundled GD to compile against freetype 2.1.2.
All in all this release fixes over 50 bugs that have been discovered
and resolved since the 4.3.8 release.
into the bsd.options.mk framework. Instead of appending to
${PKG_OPTIONS_VAR}, it appends to PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS. This causes
the default options to be the union of PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS and any
old USE_* and FOO_USE_* settings.
This fixes PR pkg/26590.
for each package can be determined by invoking:
make show-var VARNAME=PKG_OPTIONS_VAR
The old options are still supported unless the variable named in
PKG_OPTIONS_VAR is set within make(1) (usually via /etc/mk.conf).
This is security fix release, fixing several important security

(ports/lang/php4/files/patch-ext::pcre::php_pcre.c). Fixes a bug
(described at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=27810) which causes
apache2 to dump core on receiving SIGHUP.
This is supposedly fixed in the next release of PHP.

Support web servers that only supply the former, even though
PHP 4.3 wants the latter to operate as a CGI...
Fixes problem using PHP 4.3 under a variety of non-Apache web servers.
Changes are bug-fixes mostly, but also synchronizes bundled GD
with GD 2.0.22 and updates PCRE to version 4.5. Several NetBSD
patches were integrated too, so future pkgsrc updates would
be even more smooth.

support for SSL/TLS connections with PHP. It is necessary to compile SSL
support in PHP to be able to use TLS-enabled sockets. The openssl PHP
module does not include that functionality.
From release announcemenet:
After a lengthy QA process, PHP 4.3.4 is finally out!
This is a medium size maintenance release, with a fair number of bug fixes.
All users are encouraged to upgrade to 4.3.4.
Bugfix release

and improvements:
* Fixed disk_total_space() and disk_free_space() under FreeBSD.
* Fixed FastCGI support on Win32.
* Fixed FastCGI being unable to bind to a specific IP.
* Fixed several bugs in mail() implementation on win32.

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
tech-pkg@ where the incorrect libtoolize was being invoked. We now pass
in the path to libtoolize via the environment, much like how the other
GNU auto* tools are found in pkgsrc.
have it be automatically included by bsd.pkg.mk if USE_PKGINSTALL is set
to "YES". This enforces the requirement that bsd.pkg.install.mk be
included at the end of a package Makefile. Idea suggested by Julio M.
Merino Vidal <jmmv at menta.net>.
generalise the linker flags used to export symbols by setting them on
a per-OS basis.

buildlink2.mk files back into the main trunk. This provides sufficient
buildlink2 infrastructure to start merging other packages from the
buildlink2 branch that have already been converted to use the buildlink2
framework.
- 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 bug that caused crashes or error notices on shutdown on threaded
platforms. (Zeev)
- Fixed bug in gmmktime() which was one hour off during standard time -
bug #9878. Patch by bfoddy@mediaone.net. (jmoore)
- Fixed a bug where the is_file() family of functions would in-correctly give
an error when they were given filenames that didn't exist. (Sterling)
- Fixed a bug in the strtotime() function where it was incorrectly recognizing
GMT +0100 and GMT -0100. (Derick)
- Introduced a new $_REQUEST array, which includes any GET, POST or COOKIE
variables. Like the other new variables, this variable is also available
regardless of the context.
- Introduced $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, $_SERVER and $_ENV variables, which
deprecate the old $HTTP_*_VARS arrays. In addition to be much shorter to
type - these variables are also available regardless of the scope, and
there's no need to import them using the 'global' statement.
Other relevant changes include:
- Bug fixes to prevent crashes on unexpected input.
- Huge performance improvements, especially in thread-safe code.
- Introduced extension version numbers.
- Added support for single dimensional SafeArrays and Enumerations.
Added an is_enum() function to check if a component implements an
enumeration.
- Improved speed of the serializer/deserializer.
- Floating point numbers are better detected when converting from strings.
- Added import_request_variables(), to allow users to safely import form
variables to the global scope
- Add config option (always_populate_raw_post_data) which when enabled
will always populate $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA regardless of the post mime
type
- Added getmygid() and safe_mode_gid ini directive to allow safe mode to do
a gid check instead of a uid check.
- Assigning to a string offset beyond the end of the string now automatically
increases the string length by padding it with spaces, and performs the
assignment.
This value may be customized in various ways:
PKG_SYSCONFBASE is the main config directory under which all package
configuration files are to be found.
PKG_SYSCONFSUBDIR is the subdirectory of PKG_SYSCONFBASE under which the
configuration files for a particular package may be found.
PKG_SYSCONFDIR.${PKGBASE} overrides the value of ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR} for a
particular package.
Users will typically want to set PKG_SYSCONFBASE to /etc, or accept the
default location of ${PREFIX}/etc.
This obsoletes the use of CONFDIR, which was active for only 6 days, so no
need to have a workaround to still accept old CONFDIR settings.
bsd.pkg.install.mk:
* Remove old DEINSTALL/INSTALL scripts.
* Move some text printed at POST-INSTALL time into the MESSAGE file.
* Adjust rc.d scripts to respect rc.conf settings, so that the
script may be directly copied into /etc/rc.d.
