[ANNOUNCEMENT] PEAR-1.3b1 (beta) Released.

The new PEAR package PEAR-1.3b1 (beta) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- PEAR Base Class: * Fixed static calls to PEAR error-handling methods in classes * Added ability to use a static method callback for error-handling, and removed use of inadvisable @ in setErrorHandling PEAR Installer: * Fixed #25117 - MD5 checksum should be case-insensitive * Added dependency on XML_RPC, and optional dependency on xmlrpc extension * Added --alldeps and --onlyreqdeps options to pear install/pear upgrade * Sorting of installation/uninstallation so package order on the command-line is insignificant (fixes upgrade-all if every package is installed) * pear upgrade will now install if the package is not installed (necessary for pear upgrade --alldeps, as installation is often necessary for new dependencies) * fixed pear.bat if PHP is installed in a path like C:\Program Files\php * Added ability to specify "pear install package-version" or "pear install package-state". For example: "pear install DB-1.2", or "pear install DB-stable" * Fix #25008 - unhelpful error message * Fixed optional dependencies in Dependency.php * Fix #25322 - bad md5sum should be fatal error * Package uninstall now also removes empty directories * Fixed locking problems for reading commands (pear list, pear info) OS_Guess Class: * Fixed #25131 - OS_Guess warnings on empty lines from popen("/usr/bin/cpp $tmpfile", "r"); System Class: * Fixed recursion deep param in _dirToStruct() * Added the System::find() command (read API doc for more info) Package Info ------------- The PEAR package contains: * the PEAR base class * the PEAR_Error error handling mechanism * the PEAR installer, for creating, distributing and installing packages Related Links ------------- Package home: http://pear.php.net/package/PEAR Changelog: http://pear.php.net/package-changelog.php?package=PEAR Download: http://pear.php.net/get/PEAR-1.3b1.tgz Authors ------------- Stig Bakken <ssb@fast.no> (lead) Thomas V.V.Cox <cox@idecnet.com> (lead) Martin Jansen <mj@php.net> (developer) Pierre-Alain Joye <paj@pearfr.org> (developer) Greg Beaver (developer)
