I am not sure such a quick reaction is needed. Unless these are 'final' changes. Since there was no release of tidy since november, the above changes are not available in a release. Also tidy is not bundled with PHP 4.x if I understand correctly (I have not followed this much), and therefore stating that some functions have been removed in PHP 4.3.5 is wrong.
I don't have any plans to further alter the API. If I do, any changes will be minor. Although TIdy is not bundled with PHP 4.x, it will be bundled with PHP 5.0. Here's how it worked out:
Tidy 1.0 -- current PECL release, the API has not changed at all. It is for PHP 4.3.x *only*. The functions which I recently removed from the development version of Tidy (2.0) are still available in this release.
Tidy 2.0 -- will be released in PECL soon, major API changes to take advantage of PHP 5 / Zend Engine 2 facilities and will be bundled with PHP 5.0 (is currently available in PHP 5 B3). This is where those functions I mentioned before were removed..
We need to get accomodated to documenting the PECL extensions with their PECL version numbers (and PHP version numbers if they are bundled and thus also have a related PHP version number :).
Yes. The differences between Tidy 1.0 and Tidy 2.0 are completely backwards incompatiable.
