====== Coding Standards ======
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. 
===== Version Numbering =====
Release versions numbering now follows the standards defined at [[http://semver.org|Semantic Versioning]]
===== Code Documentation =====
ADOdb Version 6 Code will be documented to guidelines defined at [[http://phpdoc.org|PHPDocumentor]]. If [[http://www.php-fig.org/psr|PHP-FIG PSR-5]] is accepted, ADOdb documentation standards will likely encompass those as well.

===== Coding Standards =====
ADOdb Version 6 will be coded to the PHP Framework Interop Group [[http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-2/|PSR-2]] standards. 

Code style validation can be done using [[http://pear.php.net/package/PHP_CodeSniffer/redirected|PHP_CodeSniffer]]
===== Testing =====
There are a number of tests available in the adodb/tests directory. Future releases will likely have a test suite built around [[https://phpunit.de/|PHPunit]] tests.


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