Acknowledgements

[](#acknowledgements)

No major change has been brought to the original package. Basically ported it to php7.4 (fixed compatibility issues) and added a test suite. Some code optimization has been done in order to comply with code inspection standards. The package was marked "abandoned" and i found it very usefull. I simply decided to give it a second life.
