The free Adventure PHP Framework in version 1.14 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. The present release focuses on the enhancement of the user management module as well as the optimization of the error and exception handling mechanism. Besides the release contains various bugfixes and extensions.

The data model now contains relations between groups and rolls to ease configuration. Further, the administration UI has been reworked massively. As of release 1.15 the module contains a ready-to-use component for user sign-up. After adding the necessary configuration it can be easily included in your user management-based application. The configuration of the software modules is now done by the DI container of the APF and is thus much clearer.

Within release 1.15 the global error and exception handling mechanism has been updated. The new implementation eases configuration of custom routines as well as activating and deactivating the APF mechanism. Further, an interface has been defined to simplify implementation of your own handling.

The Generic OR mapper now supports loading tree structures. For this reason, the o/r mapper provides the loadObjectTree() method. To create trees, the mapper uses self-references that have been introduced in 1.14.

With 1.15 the dependency injection container has been updated. With the new interfaces APFService and APFDIService ease implementation and makes the implementations more slim. Now, each service may define a setup method that is called after injection of all other services and configuration parameters to control the initialization.

Besides the changes listed above the release contains several bugfixes and and enhancements.

The Adventure PHP Framework is licensed under the LGPLv3 and can be downloaded under adventure-php-framework.org/Page/008-Downloads.

The Adventure PHP Framework (APF) 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.
