The first releases of the new 0.8.x have published earlier this week (0.8.1 is the latest). The main change is the full support of PHP4. I will support it as long as PHP.net maintains it. The ability to keep htscanner loaded while using PHP CLI is now possible without having to tweak the configuration (useful if you use a single php.ini for both cli and cgi).

I like to thank to widexs.nl, they make PHP4 support possible by sponsoring it.

Htscanner reports error during module or request init (returns FAILURE), these errors may be fatal and stop the current executions. This behavior is not desired if you use it in a shell ((if you have only one system php.ini for both cli and cgi or if htscanner is compiled statically). This release brings a new ini settings to solve this problem, stop_on_error.

When set to 1 htscanner returns a failure when an error occured internally (cache, doc_root missing, etc.). If it is et to 0 (the default) it will simply return SUCCESS and do nothing. It is useful if you have only one php.ini for cli and cgi or if you compiled it staticaly.

A quick note about the htscanner windows binaries, they are now available on pecl4win. I will also try to run more tests on windows, especiallly IIS + fcgi.
