QCubed - A PHP5 rapid development framework.
Home  |  Updates

Folks,

I'm pleased to announce the refresh of both of our product lines: QCubed 1.0 and 1.1. As you know, QCubed 1.0 is a branch that's meant to preserve perfect backward compatibility with our predecessor, QCodo; on that branch, we only do bugfixes. QCubed 1.1 is heavily reworked and has tons of new features, and most importantly, supports plugins authored by the community.

Today, we're announcing the official promotion of QCubed 1.1 product line into our STABLE BUILD. QCubed 1.1.1 is the new stable build.

QCubed 1.0.2 is the "legacy maintenance" release. We no longer recommend building new production systems on top of it - use that release only to patch your existing sites. Build all new sites on QCubed 1.1.1.

So, what's new in the 1.1.1 release? A bunch of stuff! The details are in the changelog, but here is a sneak peak:

  • Integrated jQuery 1.4 and latest jQuery UI bits, signifying our long-term commitment to the jQuery framework.
  • Resolved a myriad of little PHP 5.3 and E_STRICT issues.
  • Finally resolved all backward-compatibility problems with QDateTime::__toString(). This has been a contentious issue; we found a solution that made literally EVERYONE happy.
  • Added a new little component, QTimer, that lets you do lightweight debugging. See it in action.

Go download these new bits and let us know what you think! And of course, don't forget about the plugins - there's 20+ already!
