FYI

php4 (4:4.3.10-10) unstable; urgency=low

   * Update to 200503131325 CVS (AKA: 4.3.11RC1), fixing several bugs
     including a segfault in mysql_fetch_field() (closes: #299608)
   * Remove 042-remove_windows_paths.patch, incorporated upstream.
   * Add 048-x509_multiple_orgUnits.patch to bring the openssl extension
     in line with the upcoming 4.3.11 behaviour of listing multiple
     Organisational Units in an x509 cert as an array, rather than only
     listing the last in the list.
   * After much talk with upstream, revert the ZTS changes.  We are no
     longer building a thread-safe PHP. (closes: #299820, #297223, #297679)
   * ZTS was breaking file search paths, leading to errors loading files
     from the cwd (closes: #298282, #298518, #299089, #299356)
   * Stop building caudium-php4 (closes: #294718, #297702, #295100)
     - We can't link against the GPL pike7.2, which we've been doing.  Oops.
     - Even if the above weren't true, upstream has insisted that ZTS is a
       horribly broken solution, slated for eventual removal, and should
       never, ever be used.  In light of that, caudium users should instead
       use php4-cgi, either as a plain CGI, or as a FastCGI backend.
     - Not even attempting to provide an upgrade path, as it would be
       needlessly complex, and caudium-php4 in previous stable releases
       was nothing more than a useless toy, given that it had nearly no
       useful extensions built-in or supported.
   * Rewrite 041-shut_up_snmp.patch to take a different approach, this time
     regrettably reverting a fix for a memory leak, in the name of making
     things work properly, including squashing the putenv() intecaction
     bug between PHP and other apache modules (closes: #298511, #300628)
   * On sidegrades from distributions where different modules may be built
     from their own source, and thus have their own doc directories, bad
     things happen when we try to replace those with symlinks, so now we
     check for this in preinst, and fix stuff up magically to Just Work.
   * Add Jeroen van Wolffelaar <jeroen@wolffelaar.nl> to Uploaders.
   * Fix up modules regexes to use "\.so" instead of ".so" (cf: #300998)
