Thanks to Southwest delaying my 1.5 hour flight to Portland by 2 hours I’ve finally gotten time to package up the latest release of Framework. I jumped ahead to 0.4.0 from the 0.2.x series due to the fact that 0.4.0 isn’t really 100% backwards compatible and because I felt it was a major enough release to skip ahead a number. Lots of bug fixes, features, etc.

The biggest enhancements are that I switched to a pure exception model for error handling. I even went so far to switch the default PEAR_Error handler to throw Framework_Exception’s. Also, as asked by a ton of people I’ve created the ability to change your DB abstraction layers or not use one at all.

I won’t be talking about Framework much here any more, but I did want to mention that I released Framework 0.1.8 and that it’s now installable via my very own PEAR channel at http://pear.joestump.net.

$ pear channel-discover pear.joestump.net
$ pear install --alldeps joestump/Framework

I’ve finally gotten around to creating a home for Framework. I’ve installed Trac, imported the repository into SVN, tagged various releases, etc. Please feel free to submit bugs and write some documentation for me.

This is a fairly major upgrade for the little framework that could. I haven’t stopped developing Framework. Quite the contrary, I’ve been working on it extensively as I’m starting to build sites utilizing it. Other than the extensive changes, fixes, etc. anybody wishing to try this out will be pleasantly surprised that there is now an example document root in the examples.
