1.5.0

• PHP 5.6 or greater is now required.
• The C extension now supports PHP 8. Pull request by John Boehr.
  GitHub #87.
• A new method, getWithPrefixLen, was added to the Reader class.
  This method returns an array containing the record and the prefix
  length for that record. GitHub #89.

1.4.1

• The maxminddb extension now returns a string when a uint32
  value is greater than LONG_MAX. Previously, the value would
  overflow. This generally only affects 32-bit machines. Reported
  by Remi Collet. GitHub #79.
• For uint64 values, the maxminddb extension now returns an
  integer rather than a string when the value is less than or equal
  to LONG_MAX. This more closely matches the behavior of the pure
  PHP reader.

1.4.0

• The maxminddb extension now has the arginfo when using reflection.
  PR by Remi Collet. GitHub #75.
• The maxminddb extension now provides MINFO() function that
  displays the extension version and the libmaxminddb version. PR by
  Remi Collet. GitHub #74.
• The maxminddb configure script now uses pkg-config when
  available to get libmaxmindb build info. PR by Remi Collet.
  GitHub #73.
• The pure PHP reader now correctly decodes integers on 32-bit platforms.
  Previously, large integers would overflow. Reported by Remi Collet.
  GitHub #77.
• There are small performance improvements for the pure PHP reader.

1.3.0

• IMPORTANT: The maxminddb extension now obeys open_basedir. If
  open_basedir is set, you must store the database within the
  specified directory. Placing the file outside of this directory
  will result in an exception. Please test your integration before
  upgrading the extension. This does not affect the pure PHP
  implementation, which has always had this restriction. Reported
  by Benoît Burnichon. GitHub #61.
• A custom autoload.php file is provided for installations without
  Composer. GitHub #56.

1.2.0

• PHP 5.4 or greater is now required.
• The Reader class for the maxminddb extension is no longer final.
  This was change to match the behavior of the pure PHP class.
  Reported and fixed by venyii. GitHub #52 & #54.

1.1.3

• Fix incorrect version in ext/php_maxminddb.h. GitHub #48.

1.1.2

• Searching for database metadata only occurs within the last 128KB
  (128 * 1024 bytes) of the file, speeding detection of corrupt
  datafiles. Reported by Eric Teubert. GitHub #42.
• Suggest relevant extensions when installing with Composer. GitHub #37.

1.1.1

• Development files were added to the .gitattributes as export-ignore so
  that they are not part of the Composer release. Pull request by Michele
  Locati. GitHub #39.

1.1.0: PHP 7 Support for C Extension

• The MaxMind DB extension now supports PHP 7. Pull request by John Boehr.
  GitHub #27.

1.0.3: Fix errors with broken strlen

• All uses of strlen were removed. This should prevent issues in situations
  where the function is overloaded or otherwise broken.
