Phil Sturgeon's Blog: CodeIgniter 2.0 is stable (enough)
by Chris Cornutt October 19, 2010 @ 11:03:02
According to this post on Phil Sturgeon's blog (and the EllisLab folks) the current version of CodeIgniter 2.0 living in their Bitbucket repository is stable and has been for a while - despite some major changes.
CodeIgniter 2.0 is a major release, which means this has been a perfect chance for EllisLab to make major changes that effect compatibility. One example of a major change is that our Models now need to extend CI_Model instead of Model. That is an acceptable change for a major release, but think of the outcry if that was done after EllisLab had tagged v2.0.
He talks mentions the bugs currently in the tracker (quite a few) and how, despite those, the framework is still in a good, stable state. He also notes that EllisLab has to maintain both ExpressionEngine and MojoMotor on top of the framework so smaller patches and related functionality has just stemmed from that.
My advice to you, download the latest copy and have a play. If your application worked in v1.7.2 it will work in v2.0 and the upgrade is pretty simple.

NerdMom Blog: Kohana 3 & CodeIgniter 2
by Chris Cornutt August 30, 2010 @ 14:46:17
On the NerdMom blog there's a recent post from Jen about her experiences in developing in both the CodeIgniter 2 framework and Kohana 3 frameworks (upcoming versions of both).
For the last month or so I've been developing an app side-by-side with Kohana 3 and CodeIgniter 2 to see which framework fits my programming style better. Nothing terribly fancy; just a simple CMS. [...] In the end it comes down to framework stability for me. And in this case, CI wins, hands down. Don't get me wrong; Kohana is beautifully written and introduced me to a prime example of clean, well commented code.
She talks about some of what she was needing out of a framework and what ultimately lead her to pick CodeIgniter 2 as the tool for her and her development. She notes that, while Kohana is nicely written, they've had some consistency issues with backwards compatibility that have caused issues. She also mentions some of the unstable code that was added just to micro-optimize things when it wasn't needed.

Solar Blog: Solar 1.0.0 Stable Released
by Chris Cornutt March 15, 2010 @ 10:04:23
As mentioned on Solar blog and a few other places on the web, the stable 1.0.0 version of the Solar PHP framework has been released, marking a significant milestone in the framework's development.
Yesterday, I announced the release of the 1.0.0 stable version of the Solar Framework for PHP on our mailing list. (I tagged the release four days ago on Monday, but wanted to time the announcement to go along with my Solar presentation at ConFoo.)
The Changelog for the release can be found here and some of the latest updates include improved CSRF features, named actions and optimized queries.
This stable release is the culmination of about five years of development effort, with important contributions from several others in the PHP community. My many thanks to everyone who helped make this release, and all the previous releases, better than I could have made it on my own.

Richard Thomas' Blog: Solar Framework Shorts - The Road to Solar 1.0
by Chris Cornutt February 08, 2010 @ 08:37:23
In another of his "Solar Shorts" Richard Thomas talks about the road to Solar 1.0 as broken down into three points that will lead up to the framework's 1.0 release.
If you haven't taken a look at the Solar Framework in the past now is the time to do so as the three biggest complaints about Solar are on the road to be resolved.
Some of the things that might have made you skip over the framework in the past are being worked on right now:
- Solar has been in perpetual alpha/beta forever..
- Documentation, all the cool Frameworks have cool docs.
- Examples, sometimes the easiest way to learn is to study a working application
For more information about the Solar framework, head over to SolarPHP.com and grab the latest copy.

Andrei Zmievski's Blog: pecl/memcached turns 1
by Chris Cornutt July 08, 2009 @ 09:14:17
Andrei Zmievski has announced the release of the first stable version (1.0.0) of the memcached extension for PHP.
It's been stable for a while actually, but some people were hesitant to use it in production while it still had the beta designation. Well, no more, go forth and use it.
Future plans include the addition of memcached_dump and auto-ejection support. The memcached extension is a PHP library that allows your application to interface directly with a memcached server. Memcached is a high-performance, distributed memory object caching system, generic in nature, but intended for use in speeding up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load.

Christopher Jones' Blog: PHP OCI8 1.3.3 has gone "Production"
by Chris Cornutt June 24, 2008 @ 07:56:22
Christopher Jones has noted that the latest version of the OCI8 drivers for PHP (in the PECL extension) have been pushed to the current stable package.
HP's OCI8 1.3.3 has support for Oracle's DRCP connection pooling and Fast Application Notification technologies giving it improved scalability and high availability. Overall, the re-architecture of the connection code is more stable. It fixes some obscure edge case issues and lets it handle re-started DB's better. Basic functionality is unchanged.
You can find out more about the package and download this latest edition from its PECL page or check out the whitepaper they recent;y wrote up about PHP and Oracle scalability.
