We're very proud to announce the immediate release of Phalcon 0.8. As mentioned in the alpha/beta posts we've introduce a lot of new and exciting features in this major release. As always we have improved performance and addressed several bugs increasing the overall stability of the framework.

After the introduction of many new and exciting features in our alpha version, we are today releasing the first beta version of 0.8.0.

We're happy to announce the last release of this year, 0.8.0 Alpha. This release is a preview of Phalcon's next stable release which will come next year. We decided to release this alpha version, so that you can get acquainted with the new features coming down the line.

We are very excited to release our third Phalcon demo after INVO and the alternative PHP website to the community, so as to showcase the power of Phalcon.
