- fix cleanup phase of unit tests that raised notice errors

Bug fix release. Closes:
#13215 - Encoding problems
#12919 - & in ULR's causes problems
#12522 - pubDate handler throws warning on empty field
#12017 - no rss2 image if precedes
#11467 - Escaped HTML in Atom Text Constructs
#10702 - Indirect modification of overloaded property
#10336 - Error with encoding handling on xhtml

- It is now possible to configure the error_log handler's line and timestamp formats. (Bug #14655)
- Added _extractMessage() support for non-scalar array('message' => ...) values.
- Spaces in 'win' handler window names are now replaced with underscores.
- Added a class name format token: %8$s

- fixed warning in validateTable() that was introduced in last release (Bug #15055)
- fixed interpreter for mdb2_schematool, plus it is now been installed to bin_dir (now, really!)
- mdb2_schematool has a new feature: initialize database
- mdb2_schematool can now be used to dump data and/or database structure

open todo items:
- Clean up output of getDefinitionFromDatabase(). Sync it with Parser and Parser2.
- Automatically load reserved keywords
- Make MDB2_Schema loadable via MDB2_Driver_Common::loadModule() (Bug #8270)
- Allow simple if statements that mean that anything enclosed is only executed
if it meets certain criterias based on that version number (or some other
variable). This would enable people to add DML statements that are only
executed when updating from a specific version.
- Modularize Writer code or remake it
- Add specific error codes for Validate class
- Add support for ORDER clauses on UPDATEs (to resolve the duplicate key
problem)
- Update description.schema.xml
- Create unit test for comparedefinitions()
- Create unit test for initializetable()
- Create unit test to compare the expected array definition with what is parsed
- Improve validateDataFieldValue() to validate
- Provide more info on MDB2_Schema_Validate errors (output parsed value and expected value)
- Views support
- Fulltext index support

Development of HTTP_Request package is halted, only bug fixing will be done.
Please submit feature requests for HTTP_Request2 package.

Fixes:
* Improved memory usage of _buildRequest() method (bug #14574)
* Clarified documentation for addFile() method to mention that it is useful
only for POST method file uploads (bug #14635)
* Do not send "Content-Length: 0" header for methods other than
POST and PUT, as some servers may return error 400 (bug #14740)

Initial release. The features supported are mostly the same as those of
HTTP_Request, with the following additional feature requests implemented:
* cURL extension support (request #5463)
* It is now possible to monitor the file upload progress with Observers
(request #7630)
* Added 'sentHeaders' notification providing the request headers to the
Observers (request #7633)
* Added support for 'deflate' encoding (request #11246)

RC1. API is stable. Changes include:
* add support for initializing user ids, signatures and sub-keys from an array of fields.
* clean up unit tests to work with PEAR's continuous integration server.
* add unit tests for exception, user id, signature, key and sub-key classes.
* rename the 'gpgBinary' option in the constructor to just 'binary'. the old option name is deprecated but still works.
* rename Signature::setIsValid() to Signature::setValid() to match methods on UserId.
* remove unused exceptions: 'DuplicateKeyImportException', 'UnsignedKeyException', and 'MissingSelfSignatureException'.
* Fix ISO 8601 timestamp parsing when E_STRICT is used.
