ID: 50968 User updated by: pgacv2 at gmail dot com Reported By: pgacv2 at gmail dot com Status: Verified Bug Type: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Hm, my mistake then. My mind wasn't working in natural order mode; if it said "0.07" (with the extra leading zero), then it would have been clearer that 0.23 is much newer. But I understand PHP isn't responsible for the versioning scheme other projects use. What do you mean by changing it to inline text? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-02-08 21:40:30] bjori@php.net That info is correct afaict. Do note that 0.23 is heckofalot newer then 0.7. Thats a very very old note as you can see. Rather the being such a explicit note it probably should be changed to inline text though ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-02-08 21:03:19] pgacv2 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ The "Requirements" page for the xdiff extension say that version 0.7 is required for those functions to be aware of memory_limit. However, the latest version offered on xdiff's homepage (http://www.xmailserver.org/xdiff-lib.html) and Freshmeat page (http://freshmeat.net/projects/xdiff-lib) is 0.23. Reproduce code: --------------- Go to http://www.php.net/manual/en/xdiff.requirements.php and read, "Note: You'll need at least libxdiff 0.7 for these functions to be aware of memory_limit." Expected result: ---------------- libxdiff 0.7 to exist. Actual result: -------------- Latest version available is 0.23. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50968&edit=1
