I could call my class Config 2.0 while yours will still be 1.x ? With the pear installer, users can choose which version of a package they want to install. In the CVS, it might also be possible to create a new branch if you want to continue to work on your config class. Unfortunately, I am not really CVS aware, so other developers might confirm... :) Tell me what you think of the new class and if you see a way to make the transition easier for you. Cheers, Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
