The largest change in this version is the use of the new package.getDownloadURL xml-rpc function from pearweb, which effectively obsoletes the download protocol. This will make setting up a pearweb server even simpler, as no mod_rewrite magic will be needed.

BTW. Is there any documentation on what the channel has to answer to different xml-rpc requests? Browsing the pearweb source was quite confusing experience.

Not yet :). The next step is to create a generic pear_server that is dedicated to the installer xml-rpc stuff. This will help remove the severe need for documentation. pearweb is far too proprietary to be of use to non-pearweb channels, unfortunately. Both Pierre-Alain and I are working on just such a pear_server independently. He is focussing on sort of a pearweb2, while I am working on a minimal server to be used on another channel. When either code is approaching stability, it will be made available, with documentation. Thanks, Greg
