Seagull 0.6.1 Released

Version 0.6.1 of the Seagull framework was released last week, download it here. There's been a gap of 4 months since the last release due to the main devs being busy with contracts, nevertheless quite a few important fixes and improvements have been added to the project.

Our bounty program is now in full swing and certainly had something to do with some longstanding bugs finally being squashed. Many thanks to RV Global Soft Co.,Ltd who made a significant sponsorship. Please note that there's over $500 worth of unclaimed bounties to date ;-)

I also wanted to thank Dmitri Lakachauskis who did most of the hard work in this release, he's pretty much single-handedly responsible for solving the large number of bugs associated with the Translation2 integration, fixing a number of CGI-related bugs and implementing the long-awaited DB prefix support - hats off to Dmitri!

 

Major improvements include:

• errors encountered in production mode are handled more gracefully
• if you had problems installing the event module please see the instructions here
• added possibility of passing arbitrary args to CLI requests
• implemented DB table prefix support
• the comment module enhanced with Akismet integration and captcha
• added example REST client and server implementations
• enhanced module installer adding symlink support for windows users
• the library cache can now be controlled using the standard Config gui
• added ability to include a debug block for development rebuilds
• many PEAR and translation updates
