<li><?php bugfix(13936); ?> (__FILE__ constant didn't contain full path). (Ilia)</li>
<li>PHP now has a new stream system that allows it to do some clever stuff with
  fopen() and fsockopen().  As a result:
  <ul>
  <li>URL wrappers natively supports https:// URLs if you have compiled
    OpenSSL support into PHP (shared extension does not support this).</li>
  <li>Added support for fopen("ftps://...", ...) which allows to connect to FTP
    servers via SSL. (Stefan Esser)</li>
  <li>fsockopen() adds support for ssl:// and tls:// connections via TCP/IP</li>
  <li>copy($srcfilename, $destfilename) can now be used with URL wrappers</li>
  <li>zlib wrappers/streams can be used even on systems without
  fopencookie()</li>
  <li>Changed 'zlib:' fopen wrapper to 'compress.zlib://' and deprecate
    'zlib:' to avoid ambiguities when filenames have ':' characters. (Wez)</li>
  <li>Added 'compress.bzip2://' stream and wrapper support.</li>
  <li>Added user-space streams - it is now possible to define a class in PHP
    code and register it as a URL wrapper. (stream_register_wrapper)</li>
  <li>Most extensions now support streams when passing files, which means
    that those extensions will now also support URL wrappers. (Wez)</li>
  <li>Added URL-wrapper support to exif. (Marcus)</li>
  <li>Added memory stream support. (Marcus)</li>
  <li>Renamed:
    <ul>
      <li>socket_set_timeout()  -&gt; stream_set_timeout()</li>
      <li>socket_set_blocking() -&gt; stream_set_blocking()</li>
      <li>set_file_buffer()     -&gt; stream_set_write_buffer()</li>
      <li>socket_get_status()   -&gt; stream_get_meta_data()</li>
	</ul>
    As these functions can (in theory) work on any type of stream. (Wez)</li>
  <li>Raw POST data is now available as "php://input" stream. (Hartmut)</li>
  <li>fopen("php://output", "wb") returns a stream that writes to the output
    buffer (like echo and print). (Wez)</li>
  <li>Added stream_context_create(), stream_context_set_params() and
    stream_context_set_option and added an optional fourth parameter to
    fopen() which accepts a stream context.  Contexts allow sharing of
    information between streams (a kind of "session") and setting
	notification callbacks. (Wez)</li>
  <li>Made the "User-Agent" header sent by http:// and https:// wrappers
	configurable in php.ini or via a stream context. (Sterling)</li>
  <li>Added stream_filter_prepend() and stream_filter_append() which apply
    a filter to either the top or the bottom of a stream filter stack.
    Implemented "string.rot13" filter as an example; more filters are
	expected to follow in later releases and other extensions. (Wez)</li>
  <li>Added stream_select() which works like socket_select but works on
    streams returned by fopen(), fsockopen() and pfsockopen() instead.
	(Wez)</li>
  <li>Added STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR constants for CLI sapi reflecting opened
    streams to their respective standard I/O counterparts. (Edin)</li>
  <li>Added php.ini option "auto_detect_line_endings" which enables PHP to
    detect Macintosh, Unix and Dos end-of-line characters in fgets() and
	file(). Fixes bugs <?php bugl(16521); ?> and <?php bugl(16708); ?>. (Wez)</li>
  <li>Fixed include(), require() and GD functions to work with remote files
    under win32.</li>
  <li><?php bugfix(18609); ?> (ImageCreateFromJPEG can't fetch from a URL). (Wez)</li>
  </ul>
</li>
<li><?php bugfix(18022); ?> (fopen does not work with php://stdin anymore on Solaris).
  (Wez)</li>
<li>Added php.ini option "default_socket_timeout" to set the timeout limit for
  PHP network streams. (kalowsky, ilia@prohost.org, Wez)</li>
<li>Added file_get_contents() which returns the contents of a file as a string.
  This function also supports the URL wrappers. (Wez)</li>
<li><?php bugfix(19595); ?> (Missing functions for GD2 format handling). (Edin)</li>
<li><?php bugfix(19633); ?> (Wrong directories in ext/ldap/config.m4). (Derick)</li>
<li>Fixed bugs <?php bugl(17274); ?> and <?php bugl(19627); ?> (segfault in sem_remove). (Wez)</li>
<li>Added mb_convert_case() function to the mbstring extension which can convert
  strings between upper, lower and title case using Unicode mappings.
  <?php bugfix(19257); ?> (strtolower &amp; strtoupper does not work for UTF-8 strings).
  (Wez)</li>

<?php release_date("30-Apr-2001"); ?>
<ul>
<li>IMPORTANT: removed /F modifier handling from preg_replace(). Instead

  constructs (for array_walk(), for example). (Andrei, Zend Engine)</li>
<li>microtime() under Windows now returns accurate values. (James)</li>
<li>Added PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE flag to preg_split() that allows for Perl-like
  functionality of capturing parenthesized delimiter expression. (Andrei)</li>

  whereas the identity operator (===) performs an ordered comparison (Zeev,
  Zend Engine)</li>

  "5;/tmp" instead of "5:/tmp" (Andi)</li>
<li>Changed the Apache handler's return status to 'Declined' when a requested
  PHP file could not be found.  Returning 'Not Found' caused problems
  in the ErrorDocument handler stage in that $REDIRECT_REDIRECT_ERROR_NOTES
  was not getting set at all.  Moving to 'Declined' should fix this and I
  can't see any other side effects.  (Rasmus)</li>
<li>Fixed scanning decimal numbers in internationalized environments. They should
  always be in standard US format e.g. 23.3. (Andi, Zend Engine)</li>

  (Stas &amp; Zeev, Zend Engine)</li>
<li>Fixed min()/max() segfault. (Andrei)</li>
<li>New module for reading EXIF header data from JPEG files.  Most digital
  cameras will embed all sorts of information about a picture inside the
  jpeg images it generates.  (Rasmus)</li>
<li>Fixed basename() bug where "file.ext///" would not return the same
  as "/path/file.ext///" (Rasmus)</li>
<li>Added the swf_ortho function. (Sterling)</li>
<li>Moved to virtual current working directory support. This highly improves the
  functionality and stability of multi-threaded versions of PHP (Andi, Sascha)</li>
