Phalcon v5.3.0 Released

We are happy to announce that Phalcon v5.3.0 has been released!

This release fixes form-data handling for PUT requests, changes the dynamic update by default in the ORM, and fixes a memory leak in the Micro application, especially when one is using Swoole.

The biggest change comes in the Phalcon\Mvc\Micro, where the class is no longer automatically registered in the Phalcon\Di\Di container with the name application. This registration was responsible for numerous memory leaks, when using Swoole with Micro.

Along with those, some optimizations have been introduced as well as new methods in the Model, Metadata and Loader.

Once again, a huge thanks to our community for helping out with bug fixing and more importantly bug reporting!
