I think, I announced it once on their mailinglist as well, but that was back in november 2001 and their mailingarchive doesn't go back till then, so I can't prove that :) > By the end of today I intend to release a near 1.0b version which include > a ton of functionality.

Just some fixes some people contributed. And I didn't look through your code, either. Therefore I can't really argue, which one is better :) I also would not be against dumping my code and just use yours (though, i put also quite a lot of my time into that extension back then, since IM is really a beast memory-handling wise :) ) and put yours into PEAR/PECL. BUT, i'd really would like to have some kind of Backwords Compatibility with my API. But if this is too much work, then let it be and we just make a big Warnign :) The main problem for me is at the moment, that I really have no time in contributing to any imagemagick extension. That would be an argument for your code again, since you look like having time :) I hope, I find some calm minutes, when I can browse through your code and make up my mind :) Anyway, would you be interested at all to put your code into PEAR/PECL? (this mail goes to pear-dev@lists.php.net as well ) christian
