  • able to directly parse a CVS repository
  • parses any php file, with multiple classes and functions in the same file
  • fully compliant with even the most esoteric php syntax ($string = <<< EOF, for example)
  • greatly improved ease of Converter programming
  • parsing of global and static variables
  • documentation of name conflicts between packages
  • auto-linking to elements in any package
  • error/warnings by line number and file to allow for debugging of documentation tags
