This enables the zlib library (https://zlib.net/) from a single place to
match the minimum required version across the php-src. This provides a
possible simpler version bump in the future. Macro's 2nd and 3rd
arguments can pass additional actions whether zlib library is found or
not for the possible future adjustments in the ext/standard where also
zlib might be required.
Support for pkg-config was introduced in 1.2.3.1.
The minimum zlib version has been bumped to 1.2.3.1
* Bump minimum zlib version to 1.2.11
This is aligned with CentOS 8, which has 1.2.11 in the default packages.
* [skip ci] Move zlib version change to UPGRADING
This matches the OpenSSL style version change notice already done in
this file.
Normalization include:
- Use dnl for everything that can be ommitted when configure is built in
favor of the shell comment character # which is visible in the output.
- Line length normalized to 80 columns
- Dots for most of the one line sentences
- Macro definitions include similar pattern header comments now
Some editors utilizing .editorconfig automatically trim whitespaces. For
convenience this patch removes whitespaces in certain build files:
- ext/*/config*.m4
- configure.ac
- acinclude.m4
The $Id$ keywords were used in Subversion where they can be substituted
with filename, last revision number change, last changed date, and last
user who changed it.
In Git this functionality is different and can be done with Git attribute
ident. These need to be defined manually for each file in the
.gitattributes file and are afterwards replaced with 40-character
hexadecimal blob object name which is based only on the particular file
contents.
This patch simplifies handling of $Id$ keywords by removing them since
they are not used anymore.
requests--let's see what I can dig out of the bugtracker for NEWS--
and while crossing the road:
* implemented new zlib API
* fixed up ext/tidy (what was "s&" in zend_parse_parameters() supposed to do?)
Thanks to Jani and Felipe for pioneering.
