On his blog today, Greg Beaver has posted a note about the latest release of the channel server for PEAR - version 0.18.12 (delayed since it depended on PEAR 1.4.2).

Chiara_PEAR_Server 0.18.2 fixes some egregious bugs in the post-install script, and adds per-channel information to maintainers. In addition, bugs in the server administrative backend relating to releasing packages have been fixed. This is a recommended upgrade for all users of Chiara_PEAR_Server or the deprecated PEAR_Server.

Keep an eye out for version 0.19.0, this will have some killer new features...

You can download this latest verion here. Chiara_PEAR_Server allows you to create a PEAR REST-based serever of your own to provide a way to share your PEAR packages with the rest of the world...
