I am very proud to announce the 9th public release of XML_Query2XML. =
Version 0.8.0 is now available!
=20
Project home page: http://query2xml.sourceforge.net
PEAR project home page: http://pear.php.net/package/XML_Query2XML

Query2XML allows you to transform the records retrieved with one or more =
SQL SELECT queries
into XML data. Very simple to highly complex transformations are =
supported. It was written
with performance in mind and can handle large amounts of data. No XSLT =
needed.

This release is *NOT BACKWARD COMPATIBLE*.
I'm sorry for the BC break, but due to security considerations =
XML_Query2XML
does not use the native function eval() anymore. Therefore
- - the "!" prefix is not supported anymore
- - the behaviour of the "condition" option was changed
- - the new callback prefix "#" was added (use it instead of the "!" =
prefix)

A migration strategy is documented at
http://query2xml.sf.net/docs/html/XML_Query2XML/tutorial_XML_Query2XML.pk=
g.html#migration

Also:
- - unit tests were migrated from PHPUnit2 to phpt
- - XML_Query2XML now comes with 433 unit tests
- - migrated from package.xml version 1.0 to version 2.0
