- IMPORTANT: The
maxminddb
extension now obeysopen_basedir
. Ifopen_basedir
is set, you must store the database within the specified directory. Placing the file outside of this directory will result in an exception. Please test your integration before upgrading the extension. This does not affect the pure PHP implementation, which has always had this restriction. Reported by Benoît Burnichon. GitHub #61. - A custom
autoload.php
file is provided for installations without Composer. GitHub #56.
- PHP 5.4 or greater is now required.
- The
Reader
class for themaxminddb
extension is no longer final. This was change to match the behavior of the pure PHP class. Reported and fixed by venyii. GitHub #52 & #54.
- Fix incorrect version in
ext/php_maxminddb.h
. GitHub #48.
- Searching for database metadata only occurs within the last 128KB (128 * 1024 bytes) of the file, speeding detection of corrupt datafiles. Reported by Eric Teubert. GitHub #42.
- Suggest relevant extensions when installing with Composer. GitHub #37.
- Development files were added to the
.gitattributes
asexport-ignore
so that they are not part of the Composer release. Pull request by Michele Locati. GitHub #39.
- The MaxMind DB extension now supports PHP 7. Pull request by John Boehr. GitHub #27.
- All uses of
strlen
were removed. This should prevent issues in situations where the function is overloaded or otherwise broken.
- Previously the MaxMind DB extension would cause a segfault if the Reader object's destructor was called without first having called the constructor. (Reported by Matthias Saou & Juan Peri. GitHub #20.)
- In the last several releases, the version number in the extension was incorrect. This release is being done to correct it. No other code changes are included.
- First production release.
- In the pure PHP reader, a string length test after
fread()
was replaced with the difference between the start pointer and the end pointer. This provided a 15% speed increase.
- Clarified behavior of 128-bit type in documentation.
- Updated phpunit and fixed some test breakage from the newer version.
- Fixed invalid reference to global class RuntimeException from namespaced code. Fixed by Steven Don. GitHub issue #15.
- Additional documentation of
Metadata
class as well as misc. documentation cleanup.
- The API now works when
mbstring.func_overload
is set. - BCMath is no longer required. If the decoder encounters a big integer, it will try to use GMP and then BCMath. If both of those fail, it will throw an exception. No databases released by MaxMind currently use big integers.
- The API now officially supports HHVM when using the pure PHP reader.
- This API is now licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.
- The code for the C extension was cleaned up, fixing several potential issues.
- Added optional C extension for using libmaxminddb in place of the pure PHP reader.
- Significantly improved error handling in pure PHP reader.
- Improved performance for IPv4 lookups in an IPv6 database.
- Initial release
