Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50968&edit=1 ID: 50968 Updated by: kalle@php.net Reported by: pgacv2 at gmail dot com Summary: Incorrect version requirement for xdiff extension -Status: Verified +Status: Closed Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant -Assigned To: +Assigned To: kalle New Comment: I think the note is alright, considering you have to note that you need to atleast use 0.7 for it to be memory_limit aware. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-02-08 22:51:32] pgacv2 at gmail dot com 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? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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/bug.php?id=50968&edit=1
