Today, Pierre-Alain Joye has fomally announced his "retirement" from working with the PEAR project as a lead developer. He's making a shift to work mainly towards other graphics/imaging work he's been developing and to continue work with his current extensions (and a few new ones on the way).   I spoke with him on some of the things that had lead up to making this decision and he mentioned it as a two-fold reason: one was some personal conflict between other PEAR developers and himself and the other an issue of time and interest in the project. He still wants to see it succeed, but just doesn't see the time in his life right now to do his part. Pierre will continue to work with the PECL extensions and on the PHP internals groups to help improve and develope them towards future versions. Some of the extensions he lists as the ones currently in his development are things like GD, xmlwriter, Zip (of course), and filter.   It is just a normal process, things and people change. I would have preferred a slower switch, as I was working on my leave (giving lead for many of my packages to other friends).   Pierre's PEAR work can be seen on this page of his blog and includes all of his PEAR and PECL work as well as PHP internals and Pimp/Cairo/GD development work.   You can also check out the decision in his own words over on his blog.

As Greg Beaver mentions in his latest blog entry, the main website for PEAR, pear.php.net has been mirrored as part of an effort to restructure and "revamp" the PEAR wesbite.   I'm excited to announce the first two mirrors of pear.php.net are now actively mirroring the installer REST files and actual .tgz files of package releases.  They are http://us.pear.php.net (provided by Joshua Eichorn and bluga.net) and http://de.pear.php.net (provided by Christian Weiske).  The option exists at a future date of mirroring the entire website, but this will not be possible without further changes to the infrastructure.   Using these servers is only slightly different than the main site, setting the preferred_mirror setting in your configuration to use one of the above.

In this latest post from our sister site, AjaxDeveloper.org, today, there's a note from Joshua Eichorn's blog about the latest release of his PEAR package and the new site he's started for it.    HTML_AJAX 0.3.0 is huge leap forward from the previous versions, although it still remains mostly backward compatible with earlier releases.  One of the most important and exciting changes with HTML_AJAX 0.3.0 is the addition of three new developers who have been putting a lot of time into the project. They totally eradicated every item on the original todo list, and the feature roadmap has jumped ahead.    He mentions a few other issues that were resolved as well as some new features added - plus the introduction of the wiki page for the project...

Amir Saied has posted an update to his PEAR Services_Ebay project sa have been comitted to his CVS repository.   As I posted earlier, I'm working on the PEAR package Services_Ebay. To update it to new eBay XML schema, I've done some of the Calls/Models/Examples and touched the request skeleton to be compatible with eBay's new schema and finally committed them to the PEAR CVS. But unfortunately I can't continue with this job as before.   He notes that the version is not production ready, and since he won't be able to work on it as before, he's also including a progress file to help keep track of where the project stands.

Over on our sister site, AjaxDeveloper.org today, there's a note about the latest release of Joshua Eichorn's HTML_AJAX PEAR package - version 0.3.1.    HTML_AJAX 0.3.1 is out, lots of good bug fixes, and iframe fallback support for Opera and IE with activeX turned off.  More details are available on the release notes on the wiki.  Feature wise were getting close to beta release, its mainly getting a browser compatability test suite added in and doing some basic API review. If you have experience supporting an API without breaking bc, it would be great to get your feedback on HTML_AJAX.    In the release notes, there's mention of several bugs with Internet Explorer implementations and some yet unsolved problems (IE memory leaks and table support in Konqueror). Check out the rest of the notes for more of the bugs and issues they've taken care of...
