The wait is over! Phalcon 2.0 is here!

After more than a year of development, we’re extremely excited to announce the release of Phalcon 2.0 (final).

Those that have been following the project closely, know that this has not been a small feat.

Phalcon 2 is the a major upgrade to the framework and will be released April 17th, 2015. This new version is a rewriting of about 85% total code from C to a high-level language we have created called Zephir.

Upgrading to the latest version has several benefits:

Today we’re pleased to announce the first release-candidate for Phalcon 2.0. This release has been quite a while in the making, and includes new features, improvements and a clean and friendly code base.

As with all pre-release packages, this is not for production use. But if you’d like to take some of the new features for a spin, or to help find and fix bugs (which should be reported to the issue tracker).

Today we’re very excited to announce the release of the third beta (and possibly last one) of Phalcon 2!

Phalcon 2 is almost fully functional and stable as Phalcon 1.x, virtually all tests in 1.x are now passing 2.0. If you haven’t tried Phalcon 2 out, it’s time to give it a shot!

This version is maintenance release of the Phalcon 1.3.x branch and it has a contributions from our community and fixes to the framework. We thank everyone that has worked on this release, especially with their contributions both to 1.3.3 and our work in progress 2.0.0.

Many thanks to everyone that have contributed either on Github or through discussion in our forum to this version.

It’s been a while since we last communicated with our community. Rest assured our resolve and determination towards the project remains the same :)

We’re in the process putting the final touches on the second major release of Phalcon in its two years of life. Phalcon 2 is powered by Zephir a brand new high-level language that makes the development more enjoyable and easier.

Phalcon 2 now implements most of the functionality that Phalcon 1.x offers and it’s now passing an important number of tests in Travis. Yay!

Today we are launching a new site that would help us spread the word about Phalcon and show where Phalcon is used, whether this is production applications, hobby projects or tutorials.

Introducing builtwith.phalcon.io

Taking the example from our friends at AngularJS we have cloned their repository and we have Phalcon-ized it. Special thanks to the AngularJS team as well as Ole Aass (website) who is leading the project.
