Not sure) - filter methods will now use `Inspekt::isArrayOrArrayObject()` to determine if they need to walk the array - fixed some require\_once statements to use `dirname()` resolution so fewer path issues pop up (they showed up when using phpunit) ### Version 0.3.2 - 2009-06-22 [](#version-032---2009-06-22) PHP5 now required, bug fixes for transposed params ### Version 0.3.1 - 2008-02-08 [](#version-031---2008-02-08) Disables processing of `$_SESSION` ### Version 0.3.0 - 2008-01-16 [](#version-030---2008-01-16) Final OWASP milestone release ### Version 0.1 - 2007-05-19 [](#version-01---2007-05-19) Initial Release ### Health Score 26 — LowBetter than 43% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity26 Limited adoption so far Community14 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity38 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 61.1% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
