- Modified SolrClient::__construct() so that port numbers and other integer
values for the options can be passed as strings.
- Changed internal string handling mechanism to allow for tracking of memory
allocation in debug mode.

Package Info
-------------
It effectively simplifies the process of interacting with Apache Solr using
PHP5 and it already comes with built-in readiness for the latest features
available in Solr 1.4. The extension has features such as built-in,
serializable query string builder objects which effectively simplifies the
manipulation of name-value pair request parameters across repeated requests.
The response from the Solr server is also automatically parsed into native
php objects whose properties can be accessed as array keys or object
properties without any additional configuration on the client-side. Its
advanced HTTP client reuses the same connection across multiple requests and
provides built-in support for connecting to Solr servers secured behind HTTP
Authentication or HTTP proxy servers. It is also able to connect to
SSL-enabled containers. Please consult the documentation for more details on
features.
