  + Backward Compatibility Breaking Horde Issues (aka Horde 4.0 TODO)

  * Fix cloning behavior (See Bug 1410).
-* Remove IMAP_Tree::. **(DONE)**
-* Merge IMP_Thread:: to IMAP_Thread::.
-* Refactor IMP_IMAPClient:: and IMAP_ACL::.
  * Encrypt deprecations in Horde_Crypt_pgp::.
  * Use one place for clear text sendmail error messages.
  * rename files in imp/templates/prefs to more sensible defaults  
(e.g. draftsfolderselect.inc, not folderselect.inc)
  * Remove {{$foo = &new Foo();}} calls and replace with {{$foo = new  
Foo();}} - The former is deprecated as of PHP 5 and causes errors when  
strict code checking is on.
  * Similarly, don't pass objects by reference ( function foo(&$bar) )
  * Move share edit form into framework package to make it extendable.
  * Convert all configuration files to XML format (or to a unified  
conf.yaml, or an annotated conf.php - either way, something the config  
interface can universally manage and generate)
-* Remove IMP_IMAP_Search:: and Ingo_IMAP_Search::.
-* Remove imap_reopen() call in IMAP_Search::.
  * Checkboxes in Horde_Form that are marked as required should be  
required to be checked.
  * Remove IMP_SpellChecker::. **(DONE)**
+* Use hash() instead of md5 or sha1 directly for speed  
(http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.hash.php)
  * Add a single function for changing the language (handle the  
bindTextDomain() call also)
  * Remove hack to fix app-specific Notification_Listeners that output  
<p> instead of <li> (in Notification/Listener/status.php).
  * Prefix all classes with Horde_ that don't have that prefix yet  
(also see http://www.php.net/manual/en/userlandnaming.php).
  * Filter all input through filter extension or library.
  * Use phone form fields, i.e. in Turba.
  * Use exceptions instead of PEAR_Errors.
  * Clean up Horde::loadConfiguration() mess.
-* Clean up VFS_sql to use '/' as the root of the VFS instead of ''.   
This will make it behave like the other VFS backends without code to  
do the conversion.
  * Set the cache expiration time when the entry is set.  This is done  
in 3.2 but the API should be modified to remove the $lifetime argument  
from get() and exists().  When checking for cache data the check  
should only be that the data is not expired.  Garbage collection  
should automatically remove expired data.

  >> However, it's useful to have a way to use expired data in the  
cache, or to have other kinds of "stampede protection" (have the first  
process that hits an expired entry touch() it before regenerating it,  
so that other processes don't *also* try and regenerate it - thus the  
stampede effect). --ChuckHagenbuch
