 * Released 0.9.6

    Changes in this version (from 0.9.4):
        - This version brings full php 5.1 and 5.2 support, this has as 
          side-effect that eAccelerator won't work anymore with php 4 on windows,
          on other platforms this isn't a problem.
        - The shared memory functions, session handler and content cache are 
          disabled by default now. They are only used by a small amount of
          users and they could allow local users to fill up the memory, if they
          aren't secured properly.
        - The old web control panel and the disassembler have been removed 
          from the code. They have been replaced with a set of php functions 
          that allow the same functionality to be implemented in a PHP script.
          The control.php and the dasm.php files are such scripts. More 
          information about this can be found in the README.
        - Memory footprint should be reduced because redundant information in
          the cached scripts is no longer stored. Keeping this information 
          cached can be done with --with-eaccelerator-doc-comment-inclusion
        - File hashing in the cache directory to improve performance with a 
          big amount of cache files.
    WARNING: The encoder and loader DO not support php 5.1 nor php 5.0 and contain
    a lot of bug for php 4. This is the last release the encoder/loader 
    functionality will be available. Maybe later a new encoder/loader will be 
    included but there aren't any plans for that.
    As always all patches and help are more then welcome.

 * Released 0.9.5-beta2

    There are some big changes in this beta: 
        - The shared memory functions, session handler and content cache are 
          disabled by default now. They are only used by a small amount of
          users and they could allow local users to fill up the memory, if they
          aren't secured properly.
        - The old web control panel and the disassembler have been removed 
          from the code. They have been replaced with a set of php functions 
          that allow the same functionality to be implemented in a PHP script.
          The control.php and the dasm.php files are such scripts. More 
          information about this can be found in the README.
        - A lot of bugfixes which bring us closer to full PHP 5.1 support.
    This version is already quite stable and some people are already using it
    in production environments. Please test this beta2 as good and as much as
    you can. If you find a bug, report it back to us on the website and if
    possible add a small snippet of code so we can reproduce it.

 * Released 0.9.5-beta1

    The first beta in the history of eAccelerator! This release mainly contains
    support for php 5.1 and some small bugfixes that got fixed along the way.
    This version fully passes the PHP 5.1 test suite so it's time to have a 
    broader public testing the code.
    Most work has been done by Hans Rakers based on patches from Xuefer and 
    Bart. Lyle also contributed some fixes.
    We feel this release is already more stable and better compatible with 
    PHP 5 and 5.1 then the 0.9.4 release. We hope to make a stable release 
    soon. The encoder hasn't received any love so it's still only compatible 
    with PHP 4!. Please report all bug back to us.
