[rabbitmq-discuss] PHP Rabbit Extension

[Tony Garnock-Jones]

Hi Pieter,

I must have miscommunicated, sorry about that. The new parameter is
required if you're using *either* the 0-8 or the 0-9-1 branches of
librabbitmq. It's a recent API change that has affected both branches.
I'm not sure what to do about people who can't update to the newest rev
in mercurial, but generally I recommend that people track mercurial
fairly closely.

Perhaps you could recommend using a fixed tag of rabbitmq-c, like
"librabbitmq-0.1-amqp_0_8" or "librabbitmq-0.1-amqp_0_9_1"? You could
recommend getting tarballs using links like this:

http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-c/archive/librabbitmq-0.1-amqp_0_8.tar.gz

? Then, as the API evolves, you can gradually update your recommendation.

Regards,
  Tony
