[netcurl] netcurl-6.1.0 just released!

[Tomas Tornevall]

netcurl 6.1.0 just released! But the package has been up and tested for
a few weeks already and sould be entirely backward-compatible with the
6.0-branch.

However, to be sure that the compatibility breaks are prevented (if you
still uses old classes and calls anywhere), you should consider
including tornevall/tornelib-php-netcurl-deprecate-60 into your
installation packages as the choice has been made to not include the old
name standards at all in the new release.

*What's new?*

The entire structure actually. All drivers are separated into their own
PSR-4 based modules and can be called separately. To use the old way to
auto discover available drivers, MODULE_CURL has been replaced with
NetWrapper, so that's what you're looking for in that case. If you are
totally sure that you want to use specific drivers you can choose to do so.

Another thing that is new, is the way how you configure the drivers.
There are a bunch of defaults that can be used by setting up a new
WrapperConfig. This will be covered in the documentation soon. Also, the
curl driver has been upgraded to support multiple calls in the same
request (curl_multi). This has not been possible before. Also, mentioned
below, the SOAP support has been upgraded. Amongst many features,
WSDL-requests can now be done with or without cache (and keep the
ability to detect authentication failures in both states).

With the above SOAP support, it was also decided to give WrapperConfig
to set production/staging mode, where - if you initialize wrappers in
staging mode - cached requests will be the default state for production
requests. This will speed up things a bit.

Netcurl has also been divided into two separate packages, where the old
network module is it's own package as of version 6.1.0 - to make sure
both packages are included in your projects it's sometimes (to avoid
redundant inclusions with composer) to just load tornelib-php-network as
netcurl is included as a requirement in that package.

Most of the old drivers are from 6.1.0 removed, except for curl, streams
and SOAP. As stream-drivers are included by default (with the
binary-ready file_get_contents) I realize that nothing else are actually
required. However, drivers can be built manually by the register
functions if they are really necessary. In this release, however, an
extra RSS parser are included that will use SimpleXML as long as Laminas
RSS-parser isn't included in the package.

Good luck!
