PEAR 1.4.0a1 is being released on Friday

Hello, Thank you to all who have taken time out of their schedules to run the tests. There have been a number of tests that fail because of operating system oddities (Fedora Core 2 and 3 with ext3 return files in a different order from Windows XP and Gentoo with ReiserFS, for instance) that are actually working. In two cases, tests failed because creation permission was denied (user was running tests as a different user from the one that checked them out) and I still have no idea what was wrong with Davey's setup ;). Fortunately, in the process, no new bugs have been found through running unit tests. I found one bug in PEAR_ChannelFile through an issue with setting up someone's channel, and added a helpful message to prevent issues like confusion over RC/beta stability. So, I will be releasing PEAR 1.4.0a1 on Friday. Please register any bugs you have found in the bug tracker, even if you can't figure out how it happened. However, if you know why, that's even better. Thanks, Greg
