Status of Date

I'm wondering if anyone is actively working on Date anymore? It hasn't
seen a stable release in almost 3 years and the last development in
SVN appears to be almost 8 months ago. We use this quite extensively
at work and are running into issues with the outdated time zone
information and the number of bugs related to timezones and daylight
savings.

If the current developers don't have time to work on it, I'd be happy
to offer my time to fix up some of the bugs.

On a somewhat related note, I've got a work-in-progress tree at the
moment for something that could become a PEAR::Date2 or PEAR2::Date.
(Probably first one, then t'other.) It's (intentionally) mostly
backward compatible with Date, but uses DateTime and friends as a
backend (hence requiring PHP 5.3, since it uses DateInterval).

I'd been holding off on announcing it until I had some time to tidy it
up and package it, but if there's some interest in it, I'll move said
tidying up my priority list. I could have it ready for an alpha
release/package proposal in two to three weeks, at a guess ­—
basically about a week after I've finished my uni commitments for the
year. :)

Thanks,

Adam
