In a quick post on the PEAR blog there's an announcement about the release of a version of the tool with full PHP 7 support, version 1.10.0.

After a year of development, PEAR [version 1.10.0](http://pear.php.net/package/PEAR/download/1.10.0) has been released. It works on PHP7 and is [E_DEPRECATED](http://php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.constants.php#errorfunc.constants.errorlevels.e-deprecated-error) and [E_STRICT](http://php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.constants.php#errorfunc.constants.errorlevels.e-strict) compatible.

Apart from those big changes, a number of annoying bugs have been fixed and some features implemented – have a look at the release notes and the roadmap. Thanks to Ferenc Kovacs, Hannes Magnusson, Remi Collet and Ken Guest for their patches.

The post includes the commands you'll need to do to upgrade to this latest version, a simple two-step process of clearing the current cache and performing the upgrade. If you're installing PEAR for the first time, you can follow along with the documentation to get up and running quickly.
