libexpat VS Phalcon

I would not have found the call for funding help until they pointed out here:

https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/blob/R_2_6_2/expat/Chan...

I don't understand why there isn't a donate button on the README / website to support development of this and instead it's hidden somewhere.

Maintainers it is perfectly OK to ask the public to donate or ask for sponsorships.

If xz taught any anything we don't want to be in that situation again.

A belated happy patch day to everyone, This is a small maintenance and security update. You will notice that LibreSSL no longer works with FreeRADIUS software due to hiding library internals that are used by the software. Your current install will continue to work, but we would recommend switching to OpenSSL to receive FreeRADIUS updates as they become available. Also, the infamous log_error() message is being phased out in the development version to end the questions of "Why is this log message an error?" and so with log_msg() each log line receives a more appropriate log level between error, warning and notice. Here are the full patch notes: o system: add statistics tree view containing vmstat memory characteristics o system: explicitly reopen main log file in case another log file was used and closed o system: tweak log_msg() to prepare log level adjustments migration away from log_error() o system: enforce config reload to fetch group membership in authentication tester o system: separate interface type icon from name column in interface widget o system: change system log default to "Notice" o system: UX tweaks on activity page o system: revised backend daemon startup delay o system: drop empty plugins_run() result o interfaces: migrate main clearing of interface data to ifctl o interfaces: fix display of special HTML characters in packet capture o interfaces: retain existing PPP settings on saving interface settings o interfaces: delete the correct lock of PPP device o interfaces: fix variable use in interface_proxyarp_configure() o firewall: wrap user rule registration in new function filter_core_rules_user() o firewall: simplify rule lookup by using filter_core_rules_user() o firewall: allow external dynamic address in NPT o firewall: remove extended VIP expansion from NAT rules o firewall: fix live view hostname lookup may result in HTTP 431 error o ipsec: remove side effect host route removal from Phase 1 page o unbound: do not stop on potential errors in start script o plugins: os-freeradius is no longer available for LibreSSL to allow updates of FreeRADIUS software o plugins: os-nginx 1.31[1] o plugins: os-wireguard now skips invalid peers for dashboard widget (contributed by jkellerer) o ports: expat 2.5.0[2] o ports: krb5 1.20.1[3] o ports: nss 3.85[4] o ports: phalcon 5.1.1[5] o ports: sudo 1.9.12p1[6] Stay safe, Your OPNsense team -- [1] https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/blob/stable/22.7/www/nginx/pkg-descr [2] https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/blob/R_2_5_0/expat/Changes [3] https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.20/ [4] https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/nss_3_85.html [5] https://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon/releases/tag/v5.1.1 [6] https://www.sudo.ws/stable.html#1.9.12p1

Install this?

Phalcon is open-source with 10.7k stars and 2k+ forks on GitHub. It is a full-stack framework for PHP that is characterized by high performance and low resource consumption. It is written or implemented as a C-extension or in C, which is integrated into PHP to improve performance. It has a user-friendly interface that simplifies PHP development and enhances the developer experience.

PHP itself is not that bad. Lack of a native ability to serve HTTP requests is annoying, but newer things like Phalcon help: https://phalcon.io/

Ah, was going to suggest Phalcon, but just noticed you said it's written in PHP, so I guess it's not that.

ports: phalcon 5.2.1[11]
