PHP 5.3.0 Bug

I thought I'd post this as an announcement as it seems to be popping up a lot. There is a bug in PHP 5.3.0 affecting the parse_ini_file function:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=49172

Since Xataface relies heavily on this function for its ini files, Xataface will not work with PHP 5.3.0.

Solution:
Upgrade to PHP 5.3.1 or downgrade to PHP 5.2.x

Apparently there is another bug in PHP 5.3.1:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50340

This also affects the parse_ini_file function but is not as serious. It is best to be running 5.2.x until 5.3 gets all of this sorted and stable.

I have released a patched version of Xataface to workaround the PHP Bug. In this release I also removed all of the deprecation warnings that I could find so that it should now work smoothly on PHP 5.3 out of the box. Download the releases on Sourceforge

You can download this release as a TAR or ZIP file below (you only need to download one of these - not both).
