I don't seem to be able to find a PECL account in your name, did your ever apply for one? (PECL and PEAR accounts are unfortunately separate things from the rest of php.net). We kindof need Bob Carrolls permission to be able to effectively 'replace' his extension - I would atleast not remove his name from the credits since you apparently based this extension on his initial contribution... Are there any known major compatibility issues between these libraries? (In case anyone is currently using the current release and would want to upgrade...). -Hannes
