I’ve been fairly busy lately writing a few new PHP extensions. Here is a short introduction of each one of them and what they can do:

1. tokyo_tyrant

This is an extension to connect to the Tokyo Tyrant key value store. It supports the normal key value API and the table API. The feature-set should match quite closely what Tokyo Tyrant client libraries expose. The first version of this extension has been released in PECL.

2. zbarcode

This is the latest extension under works: it wraps ImageMagick and ZBar libraries and provides an OO API for scanning barcodes from images. It is currently under heavy development but hopefully it will be in PECL later on.

3. dmtx

Another barcode extension. Reads and writes data matrices (2D barcode). The API would need some refactoring but it seems to be working fine as it is.
