Greg Beaver's Blog: PHP_LexerGenerator 0.2.2 released at pear.php.net
562803
Greg Beaver has posted a quick note about the latest release of his PHP_LexerGenerator package through the main PEAR website - version 0.2.2.   I just released version 0.2.2 of PHP_LexerGenerator.  This release fixes two bugs, one where / characters were erroneously being replaced by  characters in regular expressions, and another where lexers with no %statename processing instruction were outputting "const 1=1;" which is invalid PHP.   You can grab this latest release directly from the package's homepage.

Sara Golemon brings us some news from the front about PHP6 in her latest blog entry today.   While everyone else has been busily gearing up for the release of PHP 5.2 and the new features that are going to come with it, Andrei and his small band of merry babelonians (yours truly included) have been making inroads on preparing PHP6 for a preview release. In the past week we've managed to roughly double the number of builtin functions (those which are part of the main distribution) that have been reviewed for unicode safety, either flagging them as good or upgrading their functionality   She also talks about what kinds of functions this entailed and how far along they are total (around 22%). She also encourages anyone that wants to get involved to help to jump right in.

Tony Bibbs points out the latest release of the Geeklog_Generator PEAR package today, version 1.0.0.    What is Geeklog_Generator? It's a package that compliments the great ORM implementation, Propel. What's missing from Propel, you ask? First and foremost, it's always annoyed me that Propel (more concisely, the Propel Generator) doesn't generate pure PHP model objects...objects that don't need to include a bunch of persistence level code.   Geeklog_Generator gets around this by building minimal, pure PHP models (called Data Transfer Objects or DTO for short) that can not only be passed around easily via web services but it also but they can be quickly turned into the persistable Propel objects.    Changes made for this release include "massive updates in preparation for GL2 GSoC and scafolding". You can grab the latest version of the package from its PEAR repository.

Greg Beaver talks about a big push that he's making towards PEAR2 by working hard on an integral piece of the puzzle - the Pyrus installer.   I'm churning out code to turn its installer, Pyrus, from vaporware into actual code. Along these lines, there has been significant progress.  The code has been developed on PHP 5.2, but will most likely target PHP 5.3 with the introduction of namespaces.  Pyrus completely revamps the way things are done.   Greg mentions some of the functionality the installer will use including XMLReader/XMLWriter, namespaces and bits of functionality from the Standard PHP Library (SPL). He's released what he's developed so far via a PEAR channel with no other dependencies.

Sebastian Bergmann has posted the results of some benchmarking on the compilation he's done on the branches of PHP from version 3.0 all the way up to 5.3-CVS.   As people keep asking me for an update to my previous benchmarks (PHP / GCC / ICC Benchmark, PHP 5.1 / GCC Benchmark (Update), and PHP 5.1 Performance, I quickly ran a new benchmark today.   He rendered the results out into a series of charts defining the number of total seconds taken for the compile and how long each of the components took. It's impressive to see how much of a jump there was between the 3.0 series and 4.3.   He also includes his compile settings (and machine information) as well as the numbers for the results if you'd like to graph them out yourself.
