v1.0-alpha (2020/12/31)

Hello world!

The initial release of this lib comes at the very end of a difficult year. Let's hope next year will be better for everybody!

All details about the status of the implementation can be found in the source code in file Xmlrpc.php.

A high level overview is: everything is broadly working except for bugs and for the following missing features:

• character set handling: at the moment only Latin1 (aka iso-8859-1) is supported - the $encoding argument does nothing in xmlrpc_decode() and xmlrpc_decode_request()
• the $output_options argument in xmlrpc_encode_request() does nothing
• the xmlrpc_parse_method_descriptions and xmlrpc_server_register_introspection_callback functions exist but do nothing
• xmlrpc server method system.describeMethods is not implemented
