<h1>Innovating the future: Package.xml 1.0, and PEAR 1.3.6 are officially deprecated</h1>

[February 1, 2007]

<div id="news-entry">
 <p>
  If you are using PEAR 1.3.6 or older, you will no longer be able to install or upgrade
  packages as of January 1, 2008.  On this day, the XML-RPC server at pear.php.net will be
  shut down, to be permanently replaced by the newer, more scalable REST interface that was
  introduced with PEAR version 1.4.0.  Users who upgrade to PEAR 1.5.0 or the latest stable
  version of PEAR will be unaffected by this change, and will not notice any difference.  For
  assistance upgrading <a href="http://pear.php.net/PEAR">PEAR</a> to the latest version, or
  for other installation-related questions or concerns, please send an email message to
  the pear-general mailing list at
  <a href="mailto:<?php echo PEAR_GENERAL_EMAIL; ?>"><?php echo PEAR_GENERAL_EMAIL; ?></a>.
 </p>

 <p>
  Although most people will not have difficulty, for some systems, upgrading from
  ancient versions of PEAR can be tricky.  If you are running a version of PEAR older
  than 1.4.0, follow these simple steps:
 </p>

 <p>
 <kbd>
  <pre>
pear upgrade --force http://pear.php.net/get/PEAR-1.3.6.tgz http://pear.php.net/get/Archive_Tar-1.3.1 http://pear.php.net/get/Console_Getopt-1.2
pear upgrade http://pear.php.net/get/PEAR-1.4.3
pear upgrade --force PEAR-1.4.11
pear upgrade PEAR
   </pre>
  </kbd>
 </p>

 <p>
  Those who have PEAR versions 1.4.0 to 1.4.3 should simply skip the first line that
  upgrades to PEAR version 1.3.6.  Users who are using the web frontend would probably
  benefit the most from a clean start - download go-pear from
  <a href="http://pear.php.net/go-pear">http://pear.php.net/go-pear</a>,
  save as <kbd>go-pear.php</kbd> and re-install PEAR from scratch, overwriting your
  existing installation.  Instructions are in a comment at the top of the file, or
  you can read them directly off of the http://pear.php.net/go-pear website.
 </p>

 <p>
  Effective February 1, 2007, the release uploader at pear.php.net will no longer
  accept packages created using only package.xml 1.0.  This affects developers who
  are authoring and releasing PEAR packages, not end users who wish to install PEAR
  packages.  This only affects packages released after February 1, 2007, and will not
  be &quot;grandfathered&quot; to existing releases.
 </p>

 <p>
  To maintain compatibility with PEAR 1.3.6 and earlier, package releases may be created
  with both a package.xml (version 1.0) and a package2.xml (version 2.0) using this command:
 </p>

 <p>
  <kbd>
   <pre>
pear package package.xml package2.xml
   </pre>
  </kbd>
 </p>

 <p>
  To create a package.xml version 2.0 from an existing package.xml version 1.0, simply run
  the <code>pear convert</code> command in the same directory as your package.xml.  Please
  email the <a href="mailto:<?php echo PEAR_DEV_EMAIL; ?>">development</a> mailing list for support
  with this process.
