Solar 0.24.0 Released

p. Paul M. Jones – Zend Alumni, Battlestar Galactica fan, and all around great guy – “posted today”:http://paul-m-jones.com/blog/?p=234 that version 0.24.0 of his “Solar framework”:http://solarphp.com has been released. Here’s my obligatory quote.

bq. Last night, I released version 0.24.0 of Solar, the simple object library and application repository. Solar is a PHP 5 framework for rapid application development.

p. Paul goes on to talk about the changes in this release which center around Solar_Request and Solar_Session.

h2. Solar_Request

bq In previous releases, the Solar arch-class had a series of methods to read from the superglobals: Solar::post(), for example, would read a $_POST key and return it (or a default value of your choosing if the key did not exist). Those methods and their related support methods have been removed from the arch-class and placed in their own class, the new Solar_Request.

h2. Solar_Session

bq. Similar to Solar_Request, Solar_Session (here) provides an interface to the $_SESSION superglobal. It also takes over for the previous Solar_Flash class by providing read-once “flash” support via the $_SESSION values.
