After only 4 months, FuelPHP has its first release candidate of the new web framework available for download. Since v1.0.0-beta1 they have changed many different features based on initial feedback from the community of developers associated with FuelPHP. What does this mean to the greater programming audience? According to the FuelPHP blog, RC1 means the framework is ready for end users to begin implementing its code. The authors have frozen all the features and are focusing on finding and fixing any bugs that are found during the release candidate time frame.
Some of the new features of FuelPHP RC1 are:
- ORM
- Modularity
- Unit Testing with PHPUnit
- Response Object
I have been following the progress of this project since Nov 2010, and great strides have been made in the areas of usability and documentation since then. I want to applaud the authors of the documentation as it is concise and very straight-forward, unlike many other frameworks such as Symphony, Yii, and CakePHP.
