[Wacsip-users] Wacs-PHP 0.7.3 Released - Massively improved version

[Beaky, T. W. M. <wa...@be...>]

Massive new release of Wacs-PHP; the PHP5 interface to the Web-based
Adult Content Server, WACS.  This release includes a COMPLETE
implementation of the new Wacs User Interface toolkit, wacsui - the
first time the PHP variant has offered the presentation utility
functions available in the perl API.

In addition to this, several more of the significant configuration query
functions from the Core API are now implemented: getvaluename and
geticonlist in particular.  This release is compatible with Wacs release
0.7.3, released earlier this month.
