Hello internals,
before we rush into another version, how about clearing some open issues
that were explicitly relayed from 5.0 to 5.1.
I would like to highlight again that getting the pear installer version 1.4 will also be important. getting this into php 5.1 will improve the life for pecl considerably!
Greg has been working really hard on getting this stuff far along and now we need testers just like PDO to get this stuff stable. Especially with Wez being very busy with PDO its important that other people form internals step up to ensure that all the new features for PECL work well in the real world.
I plan to release PEAR 1.4.0a1 this week. Although this version should not be included in PHP 5.1 beta 1, I expect that barring any disasters, the first beta should be ready by PHP 5.1 beta 2. In the mean time, the release of a1 will give me a chance to fine-tune the install-pear.php script and other factors that go into the release process.
What makes more sense: sticking with PEAR 1.3.5 for PHP 5.1 stable, or trying to get PEAR 1.4.0 stable into PHP 5.1 stable?
If 5.1 stable is planned for no sooner than May/June, this is no problem. Earlier than that might be pushing it, but who knows, the current release is very stable, it is only alpha because features may need to change after users have a chance to try them out.
