The current development status is officially,
"when-the-maintainer-gets-off-his-lazy-ass-and-does-some-work"
Seriously, three or four things need to be done before a nice little
alpha/beta:
1) Stacks and Queues need to be re-written into hybrid
implementations (llist of arrays).
2) Heaps and Priority Queues need to be fixed.
3) A memory leak when using zend_register_class needs to be
corrected.
Then it should be ready for an initial commit to the PHP source.
I'm wanting to get ADT fully implemented, brand spaking new for the
PHP 5 release, which sports a much improved OO model.

Actually, ADT is designed as a core module for PHP 5, which should
be forcably enabled (IMO), so that all users have basic abstract
datatypes available to them, eliminating the bundling of external
libraries/PHP "classes" with applications that just need a standard
type like a stack or a queue. The footprint of ADT is relatively
small and requires nothing extra and fully license compatible (its
under the PHP license :).
When ADT becomes Alpha/Beta ("Experimental"), I'll put together a
nice set of examples as well as documentation.
