The New Website!

We’ve spent the last few months hard at work on a new web presence for OpenAvanti, and we’re finally ready to show it to the world!

The new site is more organized and jam packed with more information about the OpenAvanti framework, which will continue to grow with the new releases in the next few months.

Enjoy!

What’s New: 12 Feb 2010

The past week has been dedicated to realizing database independence within OpenAvanti. Although still alpha, OpenAvanti now supports PostgreSQL, MySQL and sqlite database engines through PDO. Since it’s inception, OpenAvanti has been strictly PostgreSQL only with the intention of someday providing capabilities for the other two popular engines.

Work has also continued on the new website, which may go live next weekend, as well as as the new version of OpenAvanti and the side projects that will come with it: application skeletons and the command line utility.

And last but not least: OpenAvanti 1.0.3 was released last weekend. This release completed the documentation project and involved some good old fashioned code cleanup.

Stay tuned.

Version 1.0.3-stable Released

Version 1.0.3-stable has been released and is available for download. This new release is a maintenance and documentation release. No new functionality or process changes were introduce in this release.

What’s New: 5 Feb 2010

The OpenAvanti development team is hard at work on the next release of OpenAvanti, as well as building a brand new web presence for the framework. One of the biggest under takings is a new system of documentation.

We started off by writing our own documentation parser after evaluating phpDocumentor and doxygen and finding their capabilities lackluster. However, due to time constraints and a desire to get the new release out at some point, we decided to use phpDocumentor for documentation.

Currently, we are working on documenting the current release of OpenAvanti as the new releases will be in beta for some time. We’re also putting finishing touches on the rest of the web site.

Work also continues to move forward on the new release (1.0.3-beta), which should be available late February, early March. We’re also hard at work on the yet-to-be-named skeleton applications, as well as the command line utility, both of which will aid in rapid application development with OpenAvanti.
