Hello folks,
Today we released the next version of the Web:Extend framework, 0.4 beta.
This release introduces many many things. We improved the rendering pipeline; added an LDAP module (this is still a work in progress); improved the HTTP classes (cookies, sessions, file uploads); added QUnit, jQuery’s unit testing framework, to test these HTTP classes; and last but not least, added the UI module.
The UI module is our answer to RAD development. It works side by side with the model scaffolding classes to allow you to quickly design an application. It contains useful components like CRUD and pagination, that you only have to configure and render in your templates.
You can download the source code at sourceforge. It is licensed under the LGPL.
If you have some time to spend, head over to the documentation and leave us a comment, as we will use your input to improve the framework.
Next month we will release the Cache module along with a Plugins system, among other things. You might want to come back here in a week to discuss the RFC about these two additions.
Thanks for your interest.
