- fixed issue where in case of multiple headers with the same name only the last one would be returned; thanks Dave Gee for reporting!
- proxy related information is now available when a proxy is used; thanks to Dave Gee for suggesting
- minor bug fixes and source code formatting because we are now using PHPStan for static code analysis and PHP CodeSniffer for detecting coding standards violations, which are now PSR12-ish with a few of the rules excluded; this also fixes #48; thanks MoontoC!
- added support for PATCH requests
- the library will not cache results in case the cURL requst returns an error; thanks to George Adrian for suggesting
- fixed compatibility with PHP 8
- the
getmethod now allows passing of query strings in a nicer way - fixed bug where when passing an associative array as an extra argument to any of the main methods, it would be incorrectly passed forward to the callback function
- fixed bug where not all the formats for URLs described in the documentation were actually supported
- documentation overhaul
- custom options can now be set for each individual request when processing multiple requests at once; see this issue for the initial request and see the documentation for the $urls argument in the documentation for the get() method (or any other method where multiple URLs can be specified)
- removed from source code comments and documentation all references to the deprecated create_function function
- improved documentation for the ssl() method and how to easily get a CA certificates bundle to enable communication over HTTPS
- all examples were updated and were made functional again
- fixed bug when having pauses between batches of requests
- fixed bug with script stopping after first request if the "threads" property was set to 1; thanks to @sbosshardt
- fixed broken file uploads when making POST and PUT requests
- fixed warning that would be shown when POST-ing/PUT-ing raw data; thanks Sebastian Popa
- fixed bug where the header method would only accept an array of URLs or would trigger an error otherwise
- minor source code tweaks
- unnecessary files are no more included when downloading from GitHub or via Composer
- documentation is now available in the repository and on GitHub
- the home of the library is now exclusively on GitHub
- minimum required PHP version is now 5.3.0 instead of 5.0.3
- fixed a bug where the library would not download files having query strings or hashtags, and triggered warnings instead; thanks Fshamri
- fixed a bug which broke the ftp_download method
- fixed an issue where SSL certificate checking (CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER) was disabled by default; now it is enabled by default; thanks Daniel Stenberg
- added delete and put methods for making DELETE and PUT requests
- added scrap method for quickly making a single get request without the need of a callback function; thanks Alexey Dorokhov
- if caching is enabled but the cache folder doesn't exist, the library will now try and create it before triggering an error; thanks Alexey Dorokhov
- removed unused argument for the cookies method; thanks Székely Dániel
- updated existing examples and added a new one for scrapping a page
- losts of cleanup in the documentation
- fixed a bug with http_authentication method not working
- fixed handling of edge case HTTP authentication
- fixed a warning message when setting the callback function as a method of a class, but the method was not available
- fixed bug with additional arguments not being passed to the get method
- updated the "post" method so that now arbitrary strings can also be POST-ed (instead of key => value pair only); useful for POST-ing JSON; thanks Julian Zel
- added possibility to unset previously set credentials for HTTP authentication
- POST parameters are now in the response as an additional "post" entry in the response array, both as string and as an array (only for POST requests)
- improved debug messages
- Fixed a bug where setting any value to the "pause_interval" property would result in no requests being processed
- changed how the "post" method receives its arguments; this breaks compatibility with previous versions!
- fixed a bug where making mixed calls to the library's method would get you into trouble as options set by one method were not being unset by another
- all types of requests can now be cached, not just "get" and "header" request
- URLs can now also be processed in batches with pause in between; helpful for relieving stress on servers, if you are processing hundreds or more requests
- any type of requests can now be processed at once, using the newly added queue method
- the library now also sets default value for the CURLOPT_ENCODING option to "gzip,deflate"
- improved documentation
- fixed an issue that appeared since PHP 5.3.0 where, because of how htmlentities has changed since that version, the body of a fetched page would be an empty string the output would contain invalid code unit sequences within the given encoding (utf-8 in our case)
- fixed an issues in composer.json due to which the class was not registered for autoloading after installation, and the library now explicitly requires lib-curl; thanks to Igor Denisenko
- fixed some documentation issues; thanks to Igor Denisenko
- fixed a bug where the "post" method was not working with callback functions
- added a workaround for PHP bug: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61141; thanks to Syed I.R
- custom arguments can now pe passed to the callback functions
- callback functions may now return FALSE instructing the library to not cache the respective request; this makes it easy to retry failed requests without having to clear all cache
- added an example for FTP download
- fixed a bug where the "type" argument of the "http_authentication" method could not be changed; thanks apmolsa
- fixed a bug where the "chmod" argument of the "cache" method could not be changed; thanks apmolsa
- fixed a bug where PHP's htmlentities() function was accidentally being run on the response body of downloads
- the constructor now takes one argument specifying whether the response body should be run through PHP's htmlentities() function
- fixed a bug where in PHP 5.2.7+ the library was triggering fatal error because I was using func_num_args() as an argument to another function
- the project is now also available on GitHub and as a package for Composer
- initial release
