Announcement: Structural modifications in Quercus, introducing QExt

[Kevin Decherf]

Hi,

With the new testing subproject QITS which has been released the last month, we discovered that most of PHP functionalities aren't implemented yet.

A lot of new features will be available in the next releases (Mongo and Stream will be released in the next 4.0.11c version for example).

Addition of new functionalities will increase the size of Quercus JAR file, whereas a lot of these features will not be used at the same time by the same project.

So, Quercus will use a new structure for the modules which haven't built-in support in PHP (like Mongo or ImageMagick).

External PHP modules that are already implemented in Quercus will be released as external Quercus modules (QExt) in the next version (4.0.11c).

Mongo will be the first QExt. Thus Quercus will be renamed to Quercus-core.

Wiki pages will be available soon for creating a new QExt.

Have fun with Quercus.

Hi,

Quercus extensions (modules, aka QExt) are now separated from Quercus Git repo.

So, the new repository for extensions is http://github.com/CleverCloud/quercus-modules

(Yes, the repo is empty for the moment)
