#20371 [NEW]: PHP Change log missing HUGE change

From: alasdair@alivewww.com Operating system: FreeBSD PHP version: 4.2.3 PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: PHP Change log missing HUGE change The PHP Changelog for 4.2.3 does not mention the inclusion of a new directive in Safe Mode to restrict the 5th parameter in the mail() function. Quoting somewhere: "This fifth parameter was added in PHP 4.0.5. Since PHP 4.2.3 this parameter is disabled in safe_mode and the mail() function will expose a warning message and return FALSE if you're trying to use it." There is no mention of this in the Change Log. For PHP, a very widly used piece of software, i find it totally insane that such a major change has been implemented in a minor release update. And not only that, for it to not even be mentioned on the change log!! It would seem that the Change log is not a valid source of information - since it cannot even be trusted to include major changes. I would reccomend slapping whoever comitted this change. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20371&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20371&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20371&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20371&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20371&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20371&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20371&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20371&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20371&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20371&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20371&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20371&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20371&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20371&r=isapi
