[Agavi-Announce] Agavi 1.0.4 RC1 released!

[David Zülke]

Good day, friends of Agavi,

It's been quite a while since our last release, so we're happy to announce the availability of Agavi 1.0.4 RC1, our biggest maintenance release yet!

You can download it at http://www.agavi.org/ or install it via the pear.agavi.org PEAR channel.

Here is a summary of the most important changes in this release (for a full list, please refer to the RELEASE_NOTES and CHANGELOG files):

- Support for the Windows Azure platform
- AgaviXsltRenderer
- AgaviDoctrineDatabase lazy initialization
- Logging enhancements
- AgaviBooleanValidator and other validation improvements and fixes
- Updated timezone database and Schematron implementation
- PHPUnit is no longer bundled with Agavi
- Resolves compatibility problems with Phing 2.4.4 due to a BC break
- Improved exception rendering

Please test this version thoroughly and report any issues. If there aren't any major roadblocks, a final release should follow in a few days.

Version 1.0.5 is also being planned and will feature a few enhancements such as support for the Doctrine 2, Smarty 3 and Twig libraries as well as more lenient parsing of forms in FPF in both HTML and XHTML mode.

Have a great week,

David
