Hi, Although unit tests are not complete, every feature on the list of package.xml 2.0 features has been completed except for the bundle release type (easy). Implemented and tested features: 1) automatic install of extension binaries if source package install fails (i.e. pecl install will FINALLY work on windows) 2) os/architecture/extension/php dependencies, package is partially tested 3) pre-download dependency resolution 4) smarter dependency resolution both at install-time and uninstall-time allows (logical) required subpackages (circular dependencies) 5) other cool stuff. Implemented and not unit-tested: 1) customizable install roles 2) customizable file tasks 3) post-install scripts 4) other cool stuff 5) dual package.xml in the same release (package.xml in old format, package2.xml in new format for BC and FC) I will be releasing the first alpha shortly after testing is complete, and soon after 1.3.2. Don't worry, go-pear explicitly downloads the latest PEAR release, so new users will get 1.3.2 Greg
