Greetings everyone!

We are happy to announce that we have recently registered a new domain (https://phalcon.io/) to help the project as well as our community.

The purpose of the new domain is:

• Help the community share Phalcon related URLs using a short, easy to remember link
• Showcase the ease of use of creating a new Phalcon application.

Greetings everyone!

As an open source project, Phalcon relies on the contributions of developers throughout the globe, as well as the investment of personal time from the core team. Due to this, it is often that other factors (regular job, other obligations etc.) restrict the amount of time available to devote to the project.

For the project to move forward, the core team and some contributors, have recently set some goals and milestones. We would like to share those with you, so that you are always informed as to where we are and where we are heading.

The Phalcon Team wishes all of our friends, contributors, developers and users of the framework a Merry Christmas!. We hope that the new year will bring health and happiness to you and your loved ones!

As a small gift for this holiday/celebration, we are releasing Phalcon 3.0.3 [LTS].

This release concentrated on addressing a number of bugs, making the framework a bit better than before for all of us :)

A big thank you to all of our contributors and the community!!

We are excited to announce the immediate availability of Phalcon 3.0.2 [LTS].

This release marks another small milestone in the evolution of Phalcon, addressing a number of bugs and making the framework better for all of us :)

A big thank you to all of our contributors and the community!!

One of the most requested features by the community, is an easy way to install and upgrade Phalcon.

Admittedly, a lot of us have installed Phalcon so many times that it is second nature to perform the task. However some developers might find the task daunting, especially if this is the first time they are trying to install the framework.

To help with this task, we have employed the services of PackageCloud.io, so as to create packages for PhalconPHP. With PackageCloud.io users can now add the relevant repository to their distribution, and install Phalcon with the package manager of their choice.

We are excited to announce the immediate availability of Phalcon 3.0.1 [LTS].

This maintenance release fixes bugs and improve the stability of Phalcon:

The Phalcon team is very excited to share some news with our community!

The last few months, we have been working hard to push 2.1 out, which contains significant enhancements as well as some API changes that require attention so as not to break compatibility with your application. On top of that we have been working in making Zephir PHP7 compatible so that you can enjoy Phalcon in your PHP7 application. Some news first though:

We are excited to announce the immediate availability of Phalcon 2.0.13!

We are excited to announce the immediate availability of Phalcon 2.1 RC 1!

Phalcon 2.1 introduces a great number of improvements, striving to make Phalcon even a better framework. Final version will be available in two weeks.
