So it seems that Synected had issue with PHP4, in that if you were running PHP4, you’d get a fancy fatal error message on activation. This is now resolved in version 0.83. The problem was certain PHP5-only features that were in use, that PHP4 had no idea what to do with. Does this mean that functionality has been removed? Well, technically, yeah–but nothing you’ll miss. The code is less “correct” now, perhaps, especially from a class designer’s perspective. But as a Wordpress user, this changes the way Synected operates exactly none at all. And now PHP4 servers can run it too.

Hooray.
