PEAR 1.0 is released!
As of PHP 4.3.0, PEAR is an officially supported
part of PHP. From this release, the PEAR installer with all its
prerequisites is installed by default on Unix-style systems (Windows
will follow in 4.3.2). It has been a long pregnancy.
Some historical highlights:
1999-11-21 : Malin Bakken was born
1999-11-22 : the first few lines of PEAR code were committed (DB.php)
2000-07-24 : the PEAR and PEAR_Error classes were born
2000-08-01 : first working version of the "pear" command
2001-05-15 : first contributor to base system
2001-12-28 : first package uploaded to the current pear.php.net
2002-05-26 : installer can upgrade itself
2002-06-13 : first version of Gtk installer
2002-07-11 : first version of Web installer
Thanks to all PEAR contributors, and special thanks to those who have pitching in when I've been too busy with family and work to do any PHP hacking:
* Tomas V.V.Cox
* Martin Jansen
* Christian Dickmann
* Jon Parise
* Richard Heyes
* Pierre-Alain Joye
