Re: Where did the _logo_ functions go?

Thanks everyone, I didn't remember thinking about this so was impulsively curious. Dug a little now, so here's what happened: Proposal to internals (July 14, 2012) with discussion July 14-18: ------------------ Thread: http://markmail.org/thread/kewdoz3dowrr7rfv Summary: Seemed okay, discussed more "how" than "why", and more "yes" than "maybe" approved. Conclusion: No clear decision was reached. The patch: ------------------ Patch: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/132 Pull: http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commitdiff;h=c9eb641 Summary: Mostly a technical/patch related discussion there, several tweaks, then pulled. Conclusion: Merged/pulled into master on August 4, 2012. What happened: ------------------ - The PHP logo GUIDs were removed, and replaced with data URIs in phpinfo() and friends. - BC: Removed four *_logo_* functions, and GUID usage. - E_DEPRECATED was not used beforehand, nor doc updates, they were simply removed. FWIW, also no RFC. It's understandable how a minimally used feature can be changed and removed without much worry/thought. But, they appear to be the only functions removed in 5.5, and this helps it feel even easier to not break BC for this not-so-important change. Proposal: I propose we revert this change. Future consideration might include E_DEPRECATED for these functions in 5.5, although I am not proposing that part. Seems sensible, though. Regards, Philip
