$Id: Release-1.4.0alpha1 236822 2007-06-01 19:50:11Z ashnazg $ PhpDocumentor Version 1.4.0 ################################################################################ http://www.phpdoc.org Gregory Beaver cellog@php.net Joshua Eichorn jeichorn@phpdoc.org ################################################################################ ################################################################################ The phpDocumentor team would like to announce the release of phpDocumentor 1.4.0. This feature release adds initial support for documenting "magic" properties, a couple of new runtime options, plus a few minor internal enhancements. ------ IMPORTANT: phpDocumentor 1.4.0 requires PHP version 4.2.0 or greater. phpDocumentor will function best with PHP version 4.3.0 or greater, as it will use of the tokenizer extension if php 4.3.0 is installed for a tremendous increase in parsing speed. PHP version 5.1.0 or newer is recommended to take advantage of PHP5-only features. WARNING: A bug in PHP v5.2.1 can cause PhpDocumentor v1.3.1 and older to spiral into an infinite loop when parsing tutorial documents. PhpDocumentor v1.3.2 and newer will crash itself at the beginning of the tutorial parsing stage if it detects PHP v5.2.1 being used to parse tutorials. ------ Speaking of speed, do NOT run the PDF Converter with --sourcecode = on for any medium to large sized projects. I had to kill a PDF generation after 36 hours on a Pentium IV 2.66GHz computer - 36 hours! The design of the PDF generation library is tremendously inefficient, probably on the order of O(n^2). I'd fix this if I knew anything about PDF. If there are any users out there with the time and expertise to look into the algorithms used by CPdf, we would all appreciate it.
