I’ve just released syck for php 0.9.2 (a parser and emitter of YAML documents. If you don’t know anything about YAML and why it is good: check my previous posts on the subject). A lot of new and tasty features 
First, and most important: a lot of stability and consistency fixes (previous release wasn’t properly dealing with some kinds of number-like strings and with mixed-keys arrays). This release is HIGHLY recommended to anyone who uses syck-php in production. I was using this version for several weeks as a server-to-server exchange format under heavy load and coudn’t be satisfied more.
I started to dive into object-serialization and unserialization topics. Any object which implements Serializable interface can be dumped into yaml-document now. It will be stored using !php/object::ClassName signature. And, of course, you would be able load the object afterwards. Important: at the moment of loading yaml-file, all of the classes mentioned in it have to be either declared, or be available to php’s autoload mechanism.
I also implemented loading of objects with !php/array::ClassName and !php/hash::ClassName signatures. These have to implement ArrayAccess interface. Unfortunately, I didn’t implement dumping of such objects yet. That is planned for the next releae.
As always, I am open to hear any of your comments and bug-reports.
Thanks
Will be waiting for updates in debian packages
Alexey, thanks a lot, I think I’m gonna try pecl/syck in my next project. Just an offtopic question – have your ever thought on creating syck convenient bindings for C++?
Pavel Shevaev:
I thought about creating bindings for D
C++ is not in my fav-list these days
Well, yeah, C++ is not that elegant as D but currently I’m(my company actually) not ready to move to D yet.
Great! Regards…
I like C++ but now only PHP.
Just what I’ve been waiting for

Any chance of windows support coming?
chris: well, windows-developer is required for that
Actually it is on my todo-list, but there are a lot things on it, which have higher priority
Anything new about the Windows version ?
I’m really in need of it
Yamls file taking about 2 hours to load (all my dev data are in it!)
