Ratatöskr v.0.2 Beta
I recently updated my CMS Ratatöskr.
I wanted to prepare Ratatöskr for the future. Ratatöskr previously used the old mysql
PHP extension to connect to a MySQL server.
Now it is using the excellent PDO extension. This was necessary because the old mysql
extension is deprecated since PHP 5.5. As a bonus, the switch should increase the security of Ratatöskr, since PDO supports prepared statements, which is a better method of preventing SQL injections than my old qdb function.
Accidentally I merged some feature branches into develop
(and therefore master
), so the plugin API is now more powerful. Since everything seems to work fine, I did not revert the merge (I have no idea why I didn't publish these features before...).
Also I kinda regret that I labeled Ratatöskr a "CMS for PHP 5.3". PHP ≥ 5.4 is more sane (e.g. in PHP 5.3 there seems to be no way to use $this
inside of an anonymous function).
