The Phalcon Team is happy to announce the release of v4.0.0 Alpha 3! Github Tag

We cannot thank your community enough! By reporting bugs, offering feedback and suggestions, pull requests, being active in discussions about how the framework should move towards the future, you all help us make Phalcon better with every release.
