Priorities

• Libraries being compiled against were up to 12 years old

Old Library Binaries

• Many libraries only existed in binary form, unknown origin and license.

Source Missing/Unknown

• Nearly no security updates to libraries has happened in the last decade

No Security Updates

• With no updates, generally features were often not implemented on Windows

Missing Feature Parity

PHP 5.2 PHP 5.3

• Every dependent library was built from a new build, from the original project.

Every Library built from Source

• Security and Features can be kept in sync with other platforms, due to the ability to track the originating source code

Tracking dependent projects

• It’s now possible to work with the source code of the originating project, and apply modern building techniques and optimizations.
