I did not spot one after a quick read.While working on the windows ports, I asked Sara about the mhash status in regard of the new shiny ext/hash. The plan is to remove ext/hash completely and emulate it in ext/hash to keep the BC. It could even a configuration flag if one likes to be sure to clean his code to use only the hash APIs.The mhash extension features some more versions of some algorithms: http://mhash.sourceforge.net/ But why bother changing it?
I'm happy to see us removing a dependency, especially if it makes thigns easier to build on Windows. ScottI've not heard of any issues about ext/mhash.My main reasons would be to do not have to maintain ext/mhash and the libmhash Windows port. Cheers,
