Status of Validate

Hi devs, what's the current status of Validate? A lot of bugs have been closed since the last release (2004-03-17): http://pear.php.net/bugs/search.php?search_for=&boolean=0&limit=10&order_by= &direction=ASC&cmd=display&status=Closed&bug_type=All&package_name%5B%5D=Val idate&php_os=&phpver=&assign=&maintain=&author_email=&bug_age=0&bug_updated= 0 (ignore the first one) So maybe it's time to (at least) release a beta version (maybe even stable if PEAR allows jumping from alpha to stable). I think that a lot of people are scared off by the "alpha" tag. I've been using the 0.4.1 release successfully in a lot of projects and would really like to see a new release. If there is demand I would be happy to write unit tests for the current CVS version. I remember that some weeks ago it was discussed to split Validate into different packages. What's the status with that? Any comments are greatly appreciated! Best regards, Torsten Roehr
