RC3 will be pushed back until next week.
I was hoping to get something out today but I hit two nags.
One, I don't want to have JUST a boost kludge. Instead I started on a file
named repair.php. When run it will ATTEMPT to fix any problem you have
with your phpWS installation.
I will contain the fixes for the boost problem, but it will also diagnose
other problems as well and offer solutions. I figure that should cut down
on problems people are having with installations. It will be written such
that new problems and solutions can be added to it. It will also contain
tools to fix the problems as well as advice.
The second snag I hit was the ... grrr.. magic quotes issue. I changed the
cookie class as I thought I didn't need so many stripslashes. I was wrong.
Magic quotes, when enabled, not only addslashes to the cookie as it is
written it ALSO adds them when they are retrieved. Why, I don't know. On
the good side, I found an repeating function call that only needed calling
once. It has been fixed.
So anyway, these items have occupied my time today. I think in the long
run though, the repair stuff will improve our admin relations :) I am
testing the pear portion on my laptop. If it works, I'll return to the
things I have planned to facilitate the update.
Cheers,
Matt
