Twig 3.28.0 is out. This release sharpens error reporting with column numbers, brings back dynamic macro calls through the dot operator, and continues to polish the sandbox with less runtime overhead and finer-grained allow-listing. As usual, it also ships…

Every Drupal developer eventually hits this wall: a client or editor requests that a standard text field (like a headline or subheadline) be expanded from 255 to 512 characters. You change the value in the field configuration YAML or try to update it programmatically via the Entity API, only to be hit with a fatal exception.

Randy Kolenko, partner and senior architect at Nextide, recently joined the Drupal Orchestration Initiative with Jurgen Haas, Shibin Das and Dries Buytaert. The Orchestration Initiative is still in its infancy, however, the discussions and (dis)agreements will continue until the vision of what Orchestration means to Drupal is sharpened.

Last week I helped the folks at ezSystems debug some APC problems they were having. The problems ended up being a 64bit architecture problem (they have uber-fast Opterons) and the bug is now fixed in 2.0.3.

Today I received Python & XML from them (off my Amazon wishlist). Thanks guys!

On a side note, my wishlist seems borked. The list I get when I search on my email address or name is not the same one I can edit when I log into the site.

1st of April 2004 get's to it's end and I guess it's time, to summarize the recent April fools a bit. Not that I think anyone in the world believes in them, but some were quite funny:

1. Changes to case sensitivity in PHP.
Alan Knowles announced that PHP will change to the studlyCase API and therefor will get everything broken by changing established functions.

2. IBM takes over Zend.
Myself hacked a little article about IBM taking over Zend to make PHP a compete of Java.

3. The first PHP virus has been seen.
Wasn't there one last year, too?

4. PHP has been overtaken by Micro$oft.
Mhhh... a little bit unreliable, if they had been taken over by IBM this morning... Maybe one should first look, what others wrote...

5. And finally, PHP4 and 5 showed their real faces...
Take a look at a phpinfo() output!

I guess I missed some, so feel free to comment on this entry, if you found another!

Symantec have a report of the virus here. I've yet to see any of the PHP news sites picking up on it but, using a virtual host account, managed to deliberately expose some PHP scripts to it. From examining the infected scripts, what's disturbing is once infected, every tim...
