Hi folks,

first of all, let me wish you all happy holidays, even if those  
greetings come slightly belated. 2008 is now quickly approaching, and  
I hope everyone has the chance to rest a couple of days and look back  
on a successful 2007.


But now, the news: 0.11.1 RC1 is out!

This is a bugfix release, we squashed 23 flaws in total, and did some  
very minor enhancement changes.

I'd like to ask *everyone* to test this release thoroughly. We need to  
be sure that none of the fixes we made introduced issues.
Specifically, please keep an eye on:
  - your caching, especially with forwards and slots
  - database session storages

We've fixed a problem with output types and forwards, as well as  
serializing of request data in caching, both of which seem to work  
just fine, but we must be sure. Also, all database sessions storage  
implementations have been improved and cleaned up a lot, but maybe a  
problem sneaked in.

If you're checking against the current output type in (global)filters,  
it's highly recommended you now use the output type from the  
container's response, not from the execution container itself, since  
the latter might be incorrect when an internal forward occured. The  
old method still works, though.

As always, check CHANGELOG and RELEASE_NOTES for a full list of changes.


There is going to be an RC2 once the zoneinfo database has updated  
time zone information for Argentina, which adpots daylight savings  
time on December 30.

A final 0.11.1 release is scheduled for mid-January, so really  
everyone has the chance to test the release candidates with their  
projects.


Finally some outlook on future development:

1.0's big feature will be a complete testing infrastructure for  
projects (not just unit tests, but also functional and integration  
tests). In order to have a really brilliant implementation, we hired  
Sebastian Bergmann, the author of PHPUnit, for a week in December to  
help with planning and ideas. Agavi will use the upcoming PHPUnit 4,  
and Sebastian started implementing the necessary features for a  
convenient integration with Agavi already. We'll have more news on  
this soon, but so far, things look very promising already.


Last but not least, let me thank you all so much for being great users  
this year. It's been a real pleasure to see how Agavi helped so many  
bright and talented people.


Take care everyone, we wish you a happy and successful new year!


David
