These last week there were many activities on the repository, with
improvements bring by 6 contributors.
Improvements for the next release 1.4
* A new class jPref and a module jpref_admin, developped by Florian, to
allow to manage preferences in an application. Steven helped by fixing
some issues.
* The coordinator is now attached to the global object jApp, and
accessible with @@jApp::coord()@@. The global variable @@$gJCoord@@ is
now deprecated. To migrate, entry points should be modified to use the
new API. (Laurent)
* new autoload system for modules. It is possible to declare classes for
the autoloader in the module.xml file of a module. This autoload system
is compatible with the PSR0 sp�cification. (Laurent)
* Response classes can now be provided directly by a module (Laurent)
* The error management at startup has been reworked and the error page
has been improved (Laurent)

Project life
And now, here some events in the Jelix world:
* Our Booster website [1] have been improved by Florian, the most
visible part is the new design ;-)
* Florian started also a new tutorial, a "Jobeet like". After a
discussion on IRC, he created the project AperoDev [2]
* Laurent study a new solution to publish manuals, which would be a
wiki based on Git. Users could still do online modificiation, but they
could also contribute throw directly a Git repository. It is interesting
for big work or to do offline modifications
Few days ago, a french PHP developer was worried [3] about perfomance of
PHP frameworks, after reading results of a benchmark made by an other
blogger [4] and after doing his own benchmark. However Jelix was not in
the pool of tested framework, so Olivier did the same benchmark with
Jelix [5]. His conclusion is that Jelix is most performant of many PHP
framework.
Very encouraging for the project, its contributors, and users ;-)
