Technical Changes in v4
Changed Code Base
Watch My Domains SED v4 has had major portions of it's code completely rewritten. Any code that used an undocumented feature to hook into the older version will break.
Requires PHP 7.1 or above
Watch My Domains SED v4 requires PHP 7.1 and above. If you are not able to meet this requirement please use Watch My Domains SED v3 which will continue to be supported.
Supports databases other than MySQL
Watch My Domains SED v4 can use MySQL / MariaDB, SQLite, MS SQL Server or Oracle Database as the storage medium. The standard, basic and managed editions support only MySQL or SQLite. Please get the professional edition if you want to use SQL Server or Oracle.
Cron Job
Version 3 and below used a script named runq.php that you had to add to the cron job list.
In version 4 this has been renamed to cron.php
Version 3 also had a script named makeq.php that was used to schedule lookups. This has been
completely eliminated. You can schedule lookups from within the user interface in version 4.
The user interface in Version 4 also supports scheduling reports. This means that you no longer have to add cron jobs for emailing daily, weekly or monthly emails.
Comprehensive API Support
Version 4 supports a comprehensive Application programming Interface (API) that will allow you to integrate data from the application database into your site or software. You can also develop your own applications to interact with Watch My Domains SED.
