Re: Is XML_RPC2 Maintained?

Maintained, yes, although most of the recent work has been done by Fabien Marty. Do we need more help. Of course! Mostly, testing and creating automatic tests against more XML-RPC implementations on more platforms. As for the move to beta status, I'd prefer to do that only after HTTP_Request creates a PHP5 version, so we'd get rid of the HTTP_Request stub inside XML_RPC2. I'm unclear wether such switch would require a change in the API. Please email me if you wish to be added as a developer.
