New features in SourceGuardian 6.0

SourceGuardian 6 for PHP

SourceGuardian core changes

The following are core change from 5.5 to 6.0:

1) For the time sync option we have now built in the more modern NTP (123/udp) protocol. This is supported in addition to the previously supported TIME (37/tcp) protocol. No any changes are needed in the encoding commands as NTP is now checked first for each specified time server, followed by TIME protocol checking. NIST time servers support both protocols.

2) Domain name locking now supports wildcards. You may lock to *.site.com and so the script (or external license) will work for aa.site.com, bb.site.com etc. ? and * symbols are supported in the same manner as for specifying file masks.

3) Now it's possible to setup PHP to execute only SourceGuardian protected scripts. The SourceGuardian loader should be installed *server-wide* in php.ini and then the following option is set in php.ini:

[SourceGuardian]

sourceguardian.restrict_unencoded = "1"

If an unencoded script is executed the following error message appears:

Fatal error: SourceGuardian Loader - unencoded script cannot be executed [08]

4) We Fixed a bug with encoding an inherited class (PHP5) with named constructor.
