PHPSecInfo: New release, new plans tag:vox.com,2006-12-23:asset-6a00d09e4644edbe2b00d10a78543a8bfa 2006-12-23T00:09:10Z 2006-12-23T00:09:11Z Funkatron http://funkatron.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom-full

First off, a new build of PHPSecInfo is out: Version 0.1.2, build

20061218. Here’s what’s new:

  • Code is now licensed under “New BSD” license. See LICENSE

  • Added PhpSecInfo_Test_Core_Allow_Url_Include to test for

    • allow_url_include in PHP5.2 and above

  • fix bug in post_max_size check where upload_max_size value was being

    • checked

  • change curl file_support test to recommend upgrading to newest

    • version of PHP rather than disabling support in cURL for ‘file://’
    protocol

  • removed =& calls that force pass by reference in PHP4, so as to not

    • throw PHP5 STRICT notices. It means passing objects by value in PHP4,
    but this seems acceptable for our purposes (memory usage isn’t
    terribly high).

  • Fixed bug in PhpSecInfo_Test_Session_Use_Trans_Sid where wrong ini

    • key was requested (Thanks Mark Wallert)

  • New, detailed README file with explanations and basic usage

    • instructions - Now providing an md5 hash for releases

    Here’s what I’m planning to do in the next few releases:


    1. More detailed test results, including the current and recommended
      2. settings
    2. A web-based “glossary” with more details on each test &
      3. how to fix problems
    3. More tests!!! I especially need your help with
      4. this one!

      I’m also going to look into options to reformat the test result

      structure, so it plays more nicely with templating systems. No
      promises on how this will go, but we’ll see.

      I picked up each of these bad boys for $8.99 from Amazon.  Hot.

      Watching the end of the Eagles-Giants game.  Jeff Garcia just kissed the Eagles defensive player who ran back an interception for a touchdown.

      No, not that standard issue blonde actress chick, I'm talking about ESPN's Rachel Nichols:

      Rachel_nichols





      What a hottie.  She talks about football on Sunday NFL Countdown and wears pinstripe suits.  Pretty good columnist too.  Smart women are fucking hot.

      I strongly feel it is The Incredibles.  Thoughts?


      I dislike almost all traditional Disney movies because of the songs.

      The Macheist folks have finally quit fucking around with fruity puzzles and just started selling software cheap.  This is apparently their final hurrah before the whole thing sinks back into the primordial ooze from which flash sites are born.  The deal they're offering is pretty sweet: a bundle of 8 (and maybe 2 more) shareware apps that would cost nearly $300 individually for $49.  It's a hot deal, and one I'd jump on... except the stuff I really want, I already own.

      Here's what they're offering:

      • Delicious Library - totally kickass, but I own it and don't really need another copy for any reason.
      • FotoMagic - apparently lets you make fancy slideshows.  Eh... not compelling.
      • Shapeshifter - own it, but only one license, and it would make sense to have two for my two macs (I'm cheating right now)
      • DEVONthink personal - one of those organization tools that I use for like a week and then end up never opening again
      • Disco - a wildy overhyped CD/DVD burning tool that I don't want to buy on principle
      • RapidWeaver - A pretty fancy WYSIWYG web page authoring tool.  Looks kinda cool, but it's so outside of my usual workflow that I'm unsure if I'd ever need it
      • iClip 4 - a more kickass clipboard.  Yeah, I just don't do that much with the clipboard to make this worthwhile
      • One game from Pangea - All of their games look stupid, honestly.  If it was a game from Ambrosia, I'd totally be up on this

      If 5000 bundles are sold:
      • NewsFire - a desktop RSS reader that seemed pretty cool, but I already own NewsNewsWire and NewsFire wasn't that much cooler.

      If 10000 bundles are sold:
      • TextMate - The best text editor I've ever used, period.  I also already own it, but another license would keep me morally sound.
      OTOH, 25% of the proceeds go to charity, and even as-is it's probably worth $49 to me.  But it's not a slam dunk for sure.
