Honey, I shrunk the PHP payloads
This release contains more PHP payload improvements from Julien Voisin. Last
week we landed a PR from Julien that added a datastore option to the php/base64
encoder that when enabled, will use zlib to compress the payload which
significantly reduced the size, bringing a payload of 4040 bytes down to a mere
1617 bytes. This week's release includes a php/minify encoder which removes all
unnecessary characters from the payload including comments, empty lines, leadin

A New Way to Encode PHP Payloads
A new PHP encoder has been released by a community contributor, jvoisin

ASCII-Hex string. This can then be decoded on the receiver to prevent issues
with unescaped or bad characters.
