Helgi has posted about the updates that have recently been made to the PEAR website (pear.php.net) to help correct some issues and bring in some new features.
I just did a new release of pear.php.net which has a bunch of new features and bug fixes, most of which you can see here.
Some of the updates include:
One column design instead of the 2 column design
Usage of the YUI CSS reset + fonts
The package list on http://pear.php.net/packages.php doesn’t highlight deprecated packages anymore
Now developers can see bug reports by unconfirmed accounts
The RSS feeds now contain new line breaks!
Patch uploading during ticket creation now works
