In his latest blog post, Paul Jones mentions the release of the latest version of Solar (simple object library and application repository) for PHP5 - version 0.19.0.
The single biggest change in this release is in the license; we have moved from LGPL to New BSD. The main additions in this release are project-support related.
Some of the other changes made include:
- The Solar_Docs_Apiref class will read an entire Solar-style file hierarchy and parse the inline documentation into an array
- The related Solar_Docs_Phpdoc class will parse a PHPDoc comment block into its summary, narrative, and technical portions.
- Solar_Docs_Apiref also makes use of the new Solar_Class_Map
- There is a new Solar_Log class, with adapters for file-based logging (good for production), echo-based logging (good for development), and multiple log support
He also mentions a large change to the Solar_View package - a switch from paths to class names for helper classes.
