FYI: PHPMailer methods now begin with a lower case letter.

Question

I was looking at the PHPMailer Library on github (https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer) and I noticed that in the example they give in their github documentation page, the method names are different. The methods now all begin with a lower-case letter. So for example
```PHP
$mailer->Send() // is now $mailer->send()
$mailer->AddAddress() // is now $mailer->addAddress()
$mailer->MsgHtml() // is now $mailer->msgHTML() 
// and so on.....
```
In this video Randy is using version 5.2.1 and now, as of late September 2014, PHPMailer is on version 5.2.9
So I assume they changed the casing of their methods at some point during development. Note that properties of the object however still begin with an uppercase letter.
```PHP
// still the same
$mailer->Subject = "Something";
```

While I couldn't find something one way or another about methods, functions in php are non-case sensitive, so it might follow that methods, which are pretty much just class functions are also not case sensitive:
