Dan Scott posts some information about the "double-barreled PHP releases" hes made on his blog today. The two packages he's talking about are the Structures_LinkedList and the File_MARC PEAR packages.

I'm the proud parent of two new releases over the past couple of days: one official PEAR release for linked list fans, and another revision of the File_MARC proposal for library geeks.

For the Structures_LinkedList package, the update is a release of 0.1.0-alpha that he's quite happy with. Next up in the release cycle for this project is (if all goes well) 0.1.0-stable. He also mentions a problem he (and several from the IRC channel #php.pecl) worked through that ultimately lead to issues with the custom __destructor.

The File_MARC pakcage saw an update as well, with the new proposal version (0.0.9) being pushed into the PEAR Proposal process. It corrects a problem discovered at Hackfest with using file() to read in the lines of information (and it not scaling well). The solution was to go with the streams alternative, using stream_get_line.
