Phalcon v5.18.0 is out, and it brings a second way to build an application. Alongside it, the ecosystem grew two new repositories and the v6 PHP implementation crossed from alpha into beta.
Phalcon v5.17.0 is here, and for once the release notes do not fit inside a single repository. Along with the framework itself, this cycle brought new packages, a from-scratch testing tool, and a wave of modernized sample applications.
We have released phalcon/debugbar, a web debug bar and debugger for Phalcon applications. It installs with Composer and gives you a per-request view of what your application is doing, without reaching for var_dump() or tailing a log.
