Remarks for upgrading existing applications

Known bugs and limitations

1. UTF-8 not supported
2. Applications are only protected against cross frame scripting in browsers that support the X-Frame-Options header.
3. The Synchronizer Token Pattern by referrerer tokens is not as strong as by request tokens. (currently most frameworks only implement this pattern for actions (called tickets with peanuts)).
4. Though the framework has DAO classes that are successfully used as the database abstraction layer with MySQL and SqLite, the use with other databases may require some additional refactoring. Please inform us about eventual problems and solutions with the use of other databases. (Known: Oracle versions below 9 do not support standard explicit JOIN syntax, but producing JOIN instuctions is not delegated to DAO objects and can not be easily refactored to do so.)
5. The AGPL license requires you to license the source of applications using this version of phpPeanuts under the AGPL license.
