A quick status update on the project and v4. Well, it is summer and most of us are engaged in various activities including holidays. The Phalcon team is no exception. Activities with the family, craziness at work, as well as much needed holidays slowed down our development process this month.

A brief status update on the project and v4. Sadly our progress has been slowed a bit more.

The Phalcon Team is happy to announce the release of v4.0.0 Beta 1! Github Tag.

A quick status update for our community and supporters.

Phalcon has always been focused in performance and usability. We strive to offer the fastest, easiest to use framework. One of our efforts led to what developers call a rabbit hole that we had to get out of so to speak.

The Phalcon Team is happy to announce the release of v4.0.0 Alpha 4! Github Tag. We also made a mistake yesterday in our hangout, PSR-7/PSR-17 related components were not released with alpha.3; the PR was actually merged after that release. Therefore we are releasing alpha.4 today!

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

As with any open source project, developers usually don't have the time to keep up with everything that is going on. As such, some things are missed that could potentially help developers. Phalcon is no different, and despite the fact that we have a very "observant" community, we thought we would outline a few things t…

The first community hangout of 2019 was awesome and super fun! We are really happy to interact with the community and offer news, vision and problems we are facing in the Phalcon ecosystem.

Phalcon is a framework that differs from the rest. Developers cannot update the framework using tools like composer with one command. Instead the extension needs to be recompiled with each new update. Some people find this a problem and a nuisance. Others, like us, find it entertaining! We have just launched a new vers…
