Paul Jones has posted today about the latest version of his Solar application development framework - a non-development release of version 0.15.1 alpha.
You can see the change notes here, but the major updates are:
I know, "alpha" is only slightly less change-prone than "devel", but it’s a move forward and it makes me happy.
He briefly mentions a comparison between the Solar_Filter class and the Zend_Filter class from their framework - for more on that, see the SitePoint post.
He finished up the post by outlining some of the features to come once this just-released version has been used and abuse by developers. These items include a Solar_User_Access class and integration of the Dojo Toolkit.
