The script file update_lookups.php is now known as replace_url.php, in versions 3.18.0 and later. This is to remove confusion between it and system_update_lookups.php by giving it a name that more closely reflects its purpose - to replace instances of one URL with another, especially when moving systems from server to server.

MySource Matrix Developer Newsletter - Issue #169

The second release candidate of the first PHP 5-based branch of MySource Matrix, version 3.18.0 RC2, was released on Wednesday, 12th March.This RC provides about 25 bug fixes, but also provides a further 20 new features, primarily from the Feature Bazaar of last year's MySource Matrix User Conference. Compared to the 3.16.x branch, version 3.18.0 will now provide about 40 new features.There are a couple of caveats with this current release candidate:- The newly-released PostgreSQL 8.3 is not yet supported. We have not yet been able to test this version, and it appears that there are some issues relating to stricter type-checking that need to be worked through first.- Experimental support for Oracle database is provided, which did not exist in 3.18.0 RC1. However, recent bug fixes in the Oracle extension support in PHP 5 makes us believe that the likely minimum version for the RC2 to run under Oracle is PHP 5.2.6, currently itself in release candidate mode. We recommend testing with the latest RC of PHP 5.2.6, available from the PHP web site - on a non-production web server of course.The new RC2 is available for download from the MySource Matrix web site. No support is provided by Squiz for upgrades to or from candidate releases, including upgrades from 3.18.0 RC1 to RC2.

No support is provided for upgrading to candidate releases. This release candidate only runs on a PostgreSQL database (Oracle support is forthcoming), and the minimum version of PHP required is 5.1.6 - this is the version supplied with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. Versions 3.18.0 RC1 and later will NOT run on PHP 4. The development branch is now known as version 3.19.0. The next stable branch, version 3.20, is due around the middle of this year.
