Hi, PEAR will start using ZE2 features, but we won't focus on that with the joint 4.3 release. When we start working on ZE2 support for real, there will be focus on making it plug-in compatible first, then we give each package time to start using ZE2-specific features at their own pace (or keep using compatibility mechanisms provided by PEAR to make code work in both). - Stig -- Stig Sæther Bakken, Fast Search & Transfer ASA, Trondheim, Norway http://pear.php.net/wishlist.php/ssb
