The free Adventure PHP Framework in version 1.11 has been released. The framework is designed to assist the developer with the implementation of object oriented and reusable PHP based web applications and encourages the use of design patterns.

Revision 1.11 comes up with a revised version of the form support on the basis of taglibs. Now generic definition of validators and filters on the basis of the observer pattern is supported and forms can be easier adjusted to own needs.

The OR mapper "GenericORMapper", already added in the release 1.9, was extended with tools to automatically setup and update a database. Now the developer can completely concentrate on the development of the logic of the application since the storage of the objects is completely managed by the mapper.

Part of the release's performance optimization were optimizations in the core of the frameworks and the rework of the integrated BenchmarkTimer. It now supplies the developer with a better graphical representation of the measurements to find hot spots within an application. Thus an application can be optimally prepared for operation.

With release of version 1.11 the support for PHP 4 has been announced for discontinuation and the compatibility with PHP 5.3 has been improved. The coming version 1.12 will focus on the extension of the new form support and the rework of the configuration component.

The Adventure PHP Framework is licensed under the LGPLv3 and can be downloaded from the [adventure-php-framework.org/Page/008-Downloads APF web site].

The Adventure PHP Framework (adventure-php-framework.org/en) understands itself as a utility to implement object oriented and generic PHP web applications. It supports the developer in creating programs in compliance with approved software design patterns. Its code base already has answers to many day-to-day problems. The framework cannot be described as an application that only has to be configured but rather as a technical basis and guide for designing software. Furthermore it introduced many concepts and efficiency tools already well known in the JAVA community.
