Release date: 2005-09-15 04:57 UTC
Release state: beta

Changelog:

This is a major milestone release for PEAR. In addition to several killer features,
every single element of PEAR has a regression test, and so stability is much higher
than any previous PEAR release.

New features in a nutshell:
* full support for channels
* pre-download dependency validation
* new package.xml 2.0 format allows tremendous flexibility while maintaining BC
* support for optional dependency groups and limited support for sub-packaging
* robust dependency support
* full dependency validation on uninstall
* remote install for hosts with only ftp access - no more problems with
restricted host installation
* full support for mirroring
* support for bundling several packages into a single tarball
* support for static dependencies on a uri-based package
* support for custom file roles and installation tasks

Specific changes from 1.4.0b2:
* fix Bug #5319: broken .pearrc or pear.conf are correctly detected
* fix Bug #5331: PEAR_Exception should take any Exception as cause
* fix Bug #5385: small fix to PEAR/Command/Package.php and RunTest.php
* fix Bug #5374: package.dtd is broken, package-1.0 is not synced
* fix Bug #5394: postinstallscript sub-tags need namespace prefix
