Aaaand we're on the front-page of hackernews ❤️❤️❤️

MadelineProto was updated (8.0.0-beta144)!

Features:
- Add cb, offset and end parameters to Media::getStream
- Always run updateSettings if settings are passed to constructor.
This is a useful UX improvement, but it brings some additional overhead when using new \danog\MadelineProto\API, so please remove (or pass null) the second $settings parameter passed to the API constructor once the instance is logged in.

Fixes:
- Multiple IPC fixes and improvements
- Avoid connecting to old DCs that the server told us to forget about.
- Performance improvements in the update handler.

I'm very happy to announce the first release of https://github.com/danog/php-tokio: you can now use any async Rust library from PHP!

It's fully integrated with revolt: this allows full compatibility with amphp, PSL and reactphp, and with any Rust library powered by tokio.rs.

Here's an example from the repo, using the async Rust reqwest library to make asynchronous HTTP requests from PHP:

<?php

use Reqwest\Client;

use function Amp\async;
use function Amp\Future\await;

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Client::init();

function test(int $delay): void {
    $url = "https://httpbin.org/delay/$delay";
    $t = time();
    echo "Making async reqwest to $url that will return after $delay seconds...".PHP_EOL;
    Client::get($url);
    $t = time() - $t;
    echo "Got response from $url after ~".$t." seconds!".PHP_EOL;
};

$futures = [];
$futures []= async(test(...), 5);
$futures []= async(test(...), 5);
$futures []= async(test(...), 5);

await($futures);

I'm really excited for the potential usecases of php-tokio, and its implications for the PHP async ecosystem.

I've created this library because I'm building an async MongoDB client for PHP (https://github.com/Nicelocal/mongo-php-async-driver), and realized that using the official rust mongodb library directly from PHP would be way easier (and faster!) than writing a MongoDB client in pure PHP :)


P.S. Here's the link to the hackernews thread I created for the occasion :)
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37285471

My pure PHP implementation of STUN is ready, the first pre-alpha version of the library is available at https://github.com/danog/stun!

This library is the first step in the creation of a pure PHP implementation of webrtc, specifically to work with Telegram's new WebRTC-based VoIP implementation used in group and video calls, even from shared PHP webhosts :)
