<h3>August 15, 1998 Version 3.0.3</h2>
<ul>
<li> Changed the name of fopen_basedir to open_basedir, to be a little more
  accurate about what it does.
<li> Added Hyperwave module
<li> Added config-option (php3_)enable_dl <on/off>. This enables/disables the
  dl() function.  In safe-mode dl() is always disabled.
<li> Auto-prepended files were crashing under some circumstances - fixed.
<li> Win32 mail fixes provided by walton@nordicdms.com
<li> Comparing between arrays and/or objects now generates a warning (it always
  returns false, as it used to;  no comparison is made)
<li> Fixed a bug in the syntax highlighting code, that made ending-double-quotes
  appear twice under certain circumstances.
<li> Fix bug in filetype() function related to symlinks
<li> Started integrating Informix SE support to PHP configure/makefile setup.
<li> gdttf roundoff fixes from ellson@lucent.com
<li> Added initial Informix SE support files from Danny Heijl - This code still
  needs to be integrated into the PHP configure/makefile setup and the code
  itself needs more work.
<li> return in the global scope now terminates the execution of the current file.
<li> Added the ability to register shutdown function(s), via
  register_shutdown_function($function_name).
<li> Clean up const warnings
<li> Add write support to ftp fopen wrappers
<li> Add strspn() and strcspn() functions
<li> On systems without strerror use Apache version if compiling as Apache module
<li> The PHP start tag was being ignored under some circumstances - fixed.
<li> The db, dbase and filepro functions are now Safe-Mode aware.
<li> Added config-option (php3_)fopen_basedir <path>. This limits the directory-
  tree scripts can open files in to <path>.
<li> Fixed pg_loreadall that didn't always return all the contents in a PostgreSQL
  large object. Also, doesn't pass through anything if method is HEAD.
<li> configure fix to create target Apache module dir
<li> Fix core dump in imageTTFtext() function
<li> Added static IMAP support
<li> Syntax highlighting was generating additional whitespace - fixed.
<li> Added ucwords.  Works like ucfirst, but works on all words within a string.
<li> Added array_walk() - apply user function to every element of an array
<li> Added usort() - array sort that accepts a user defined comparison function!
<li> Added the ability to call user-level functions and object methods on demand
  from the C source using a completely generalized, slick API function.
  Miracles do happen every once in a while.
<li> Added constructors.  Don't even squeek about destructors! :) (we mean that)
<li> Make pg_lowrite() binary safe
<li> Fixed mod_charset option in ./setup
<li> Fixed rewinddir() and dir()::rewind() under Win32 (they didn't work before).
<li> Add Win32 COM support!  By-name referencing is supported using the IDispatch
  interface (automation).  Available functions - COM_Load(), COM_Invoke(),
  COM_PropGet() and COM_PropSet().
</ul>

<li>Added apache_note() function.

<li>Added ImageColorResolve() and some fixes to the freetype support.

  to make it possible to configure the look of error messages displayed by PHP
  to some extent

  used in conjunction with error_reporting()
  (e.g. error_reporting(E_ERROR|E_WARNING|E_NOTICE);
<li>Fixed a crash problem with classes that contained function(s) with default
  values.
<li>Fixed a problem in the browscap module.  Browscap files weren't being read
