We are happy to announce the release of our first beta of Phalcon 1.2!
In this version we have introduced several new features and performance improvements. The intend of this beta release is get input from the community, test the new functionality making sure everything works fine once production environments are updated to 1.2.
This post is quite technical, explaining the inner workings of Phalcon.
As a web developer, you don’t need to know how it works (most of the times) so long as it works, and works well. However we believe that this article will allow users of the framework to understand some of the inner workings of Phalcon, and allow them to make decisions on the hardware they use, so as to maximize performance for their applications.
Our main website and the forum are powered by Phalcon Framework, both are open sourced and published on Github, you can use them as example to create your own applications or if you want to see how real websites perform with Phalcon.
Looking at our web analytics, so far this year (1-Jan-2013/30-Abr-2013) we have served 67,566 visits, with 27,204 unique visitors (about 12,000 visits every month) having 232,819 pages served. In comparison, all the past year, despite just starting the project, we have served 100,136 visits (56,368 unique visitors).
Amazing projects need amazing tools. We might not know you just yet, but we think you’d be a great fit for building a better web. Together, we’re ready to change the world!
Here at Phalcon, we’re building a new generation framework for PHP, we want to give you amazing performance, while help you develop with ease and fun.
We are constantly trying to enhance Phalcon, to make it a better framework using a completely new approach towards PHP frameworks. We are continuously adding new features and keeping the core stable and increasing performance as much as possible.
Looking into future development, we would love to create a roadmap together and be clear as to what work is more important to the community so that we can all create awesome and fast applications.
After a series of beta releases, Phalcon 1.1 is finally released!
This release adds new functionality, fixes bugs, improves of the current components, improves performance and more! We’re constantly searching for the best balance between performance and functionality, building a robust framework that performs exceptionally well!
Main features in this release were highlighted in the beta article.
