In a new note from PHP Magazine today:

Coming a tad later than scheduled, in Issue #43 of PHPBarnstormer, Aaron Wormus reports, "Other than a couple reports of CVS breaking, and a bit of random chitchat, the lists have been very quiet." So last week, the eLists took a backseat while community stalwarts interacted face-to-face (at IPC2k5). Read about the state of Sebastian Bergmann's proposed implementation of attribute support by the way of parsing doc block comments in his Reflection_Annotation proposal, the impending release of MDB2 and MDB2_Schema, Gregg's work on integrating REST into the CVS version of PEAR, new PEAR proposals, all the latest PEAR and PECL packages, and lots more. Read Issue #43.

Some of the PEAR/PECL releases mentioned this week include: File_Archive-1.1.0 (stable), XML_RPC-1.3.0RC2 (beta), Cache-1.5.5RC1 (beta), archive-0.2 (beta), and xmlwriter-1.0 (stable).
