As the ADOdb project has moved from an owner-controlled project to a more distributed-development environment we have adopted the following coding standards for the ADOdb project, based on their existing widespread use.

Release versions numbering now follows the standards defined at Semantic Versioning

ADOdb Version 6 Code will be documented to guidelines defined at PHPDocumentor. If PHP-FIG PSR-5 is accepted, ADOdb documentation standards will likely encompass those as well.

ADOdb Version 6 will be coded to the PHP Framework Interop Group PSR-2 standards.

Code style validation can be done using PHP_CodeSniffer

A test suite based on PHPunit is under development, and will eventually become part of a Continuous Integration process. For now it needs to be setup and executed manually.

There are a number of legacy tests available in the /tests directory.

If you have your own tools built around the original documentation standards, we apologize for the inconvenience.
