<h1>PHP 5.1.2. Release Announcement</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The PHP development team is proud to announce the release of <a href="/downloads.php">PHP 5.1.2</a>.
|
|
This release combines small feature enhancements with a fair number of
|
|
bug fixes and addresses three security issues. All PHP 5 users are encouraged to
|
|
upgrade to this release.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The security issues resolved include the following:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>HTTP Response Splitting has been addressed in ext/session and in the
|
|
header() function. Header() can no longer be used to send multiple
|
|
response headers in a single call.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Format string vulnerability in ext/mysqli.</li>
|
|
<li>Possible cross-site scripting problems in certain error conditions.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The feature enhancements include the following notables:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Hash extension was added to core and is now enabled by default. This
|
|
extension provides support for most common hashing algorithms without
|
|
reliance on 3rd party libraries.</li>
|
|
<li>XMLWriter was added and enabled by default.</li>
|
|
<li>New OCI8 extension that includes numerous fixes.</li>
|
|
<li>PNG compression support added to the GD extension.</li>
|
|
<li>Added --enable-gcov configure option to enable C-level code coverage.</li>
|
|
<li>getNamespaces() and getDocNamespaces() methods added to SimpleXML extension.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The release also includes over 85 bug fixes with a focus on:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Correction of the many regressions in the strtotime() function.</li>
|
|
<li>Fixes of several crashes, leaks and memory corruptions found in the
|
|
imap, pdo, gd, mysqli, mcrypt and soap extensions.</li>
|
|
<li>Corrected problems with the usage of SSI and virtual() in the Apache2 SAPI.</li>
|
|
<li>Build fixes for iconv and sybase_ct extensions.</li>
|
|
<li>Fixed the previously broken Sun(rise|set) functions.</li>
|
|
<li>SQLite libraries upgraded to 2.8.17 and 3.2.8
|
|
<li>Win32 binaries now include libxml2-2.6.22 and libxslt-1.1.15.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
