Sorry for the cross-post, but this is both a QA and a dev issue possibly. [snip]

The query building process has been optimized, and is now more flexible due to the use of http_build_query(). This adds a new dependency: PHP_Compat >= 1.4.1.

This is troubling for 2 reasons: 1) NO package should depend on PHP_Compat. PHP_Compat is a package which allows people to try to run packages on an earlier version of PHP than is required. If you want to use PHP's http_build_query please update the PHP dependency to PHP5 and suggest PHP_Compat (optional dep) or drop the PHP_Compat and have your own version of http_build_query which you use if PHP < 5. Again, I may be wrong, but PHP_Compat was IIRC never supposed to be a dependency for any package. 2) Well, we covered this before and there is a workaround to the arg_sep.output thing due to my previous nagging. :-) Thanks. One thing, though, I think it might be more appropriate to use: ini_get('arg_separator.output') != '&amp;' [snip] -- Justin Patrin
