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.
