version 4.4.0 11-jul-2005
added man pages for phpize and php-config scripts. //在linux平台下用处比较大 added support for .cc files in extensions.//还是在linux平台下 added the sorting flag sort_locale_string to the sort() functions which makes them sort based on the current locale. //sort函数看来和以前的用法会有一点出入了 changed sha1_file() and md5_file() functions to use streams instead of low level io. //这个是好东西，可以提高不少程序的执行效率 fixed memory corruptions when using references in a wrong way. fixed memory corruption in pg_copy_from() in case the as_null parameter was passed. fixed memory corruption in stristr().
