Description

https://github.com/php/phd/releases mentions the last release was 1.1.11, from 2019. Various improvements were made on the master branch since then (e.g. fixing various notices uses of deprecated features such as join() argument order).

https://wiki.php.net/doc/phd/install mentions that "The preferred method is using the pear channel", which also causes 1.1.11 to be installed.

I'm not familiar with publishing of pear modules myself, or who would be considered an owner of this application. Going through the steps in https://github.com/php/phd/blob/master/HOWTO.RELEASE first would help (e.g. checking for missing files and putting release notes in package.xml)

Research direction

Start with HOWTO.RELEASE and inspect package.xml for missing files and release notes. Review the GitHub releases page and the PEAR installation note, then determine the release-owner and publishing steps. Done means a new release is published on GitHub and PEAR containing the improvements on master.
