In this new post from our sister site, AjaxDeveloper.org, there's a note about the latest release of Joshua Eichorn's PEAR library - HTML_AJAX 0.2.3.

This release is a mix of bug fixes and new features.

There shouldn’t be any reference bugs left so those of you running on php 4.4 or 5.1 should be fine now.

The only item that should cause you problems is that php 4 exports method and class names to JavaScript lowercase while php5 does it in the specified case. So if you want php4 and 5 compatability you’ll need to specify the methods to export. A lowercase all option is on the list of things to do.

He includes a list of changes and a few comments about the usage of the library. Also, he puts out a request for anyone out there that would like to help with the project - documentation, core development, template/framework integration - so, if you're interested let him know...
