PEAR 1.0 is released!
[December 27, 2002]
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
