PHP 5.4 and 5.5 support

vB4.2.2 is in beta with PHP 5.4 support -- where is VaultWiki at?

vB4.2.2 is in beta with PHP 5.4 support -- is VaultWiki ready?
See: http://www.php.net/manual/en/migrati...compatible.php

Also, I had a quick look at the VaultWiki 3 code and noticed some use of the preg_replace with /e modifier which is a no no in PHP 5.5.
Can I suggest a code review see: http://www.php.net/manual/en/referen...modifiers.eval

Thanks!

VaultWiki 3 and 4 have had 5.4 support for over a year now. It's possible Strict Standards will break in both when vBulletin 4.2.2 is finally released. If that's the case, only VaultWiki 4 will probably be updated, due to the way our release exporter is architected.

As for 5.5 support, only VaultWiki 4 has that. VaultWiki 3 is only fully compatible with PHP 5.5 (no deprecated messages), if all your forum languages are UTF-8 and if auto-links are disabled. If you are going to upgrade to PHP 5.5, you may as well also be upgrading VaultWiki.

Unfortunately this is bound to happen, since vBulletin had to change method callback signatures in a lot of the core classes in order to achieve PHP 5.4 compatibility. There was no way for us to know ahead of time which signatures they would choose in the end, since they were so inconsistent prior to 4.2.2. We did our best to guess and fixed as many Strict notices as possible based on previous versions' code under the circumstances.

Now that 4.2.2 is out of beta since last night, we can begin updating VaultWiki 4 with the changes with confidence that all the Strict messages have been resolved in vBulletin itself. However, we cannot make any updates to VaultWiki 3 due to the sheer volume of changes that would have to be made versus the release schedule, which at this point only permits security updates and very minor changes.
