As of a few minutes ago, I finished the sync of pearweb's REST features with peclweb. After running the generation script on the server, pecl.php.net is fully REST-enabled. This is in keeping with the push to remove all xml-rpc from the PEAR installer brought up by recent security vulnerabilities in XML_RPC. This was one of the last steps prior to feature-freeze for the PEAR package. Once binary package install has been thoroughly reviewed, we will be ready to step up to beta stability. All that is needed is a few more unit tests and complete API docs. PEAR 1.4.0 is coming!
