aFramework 3.2

Published Monday 15th of March 2010

Last week I put the latest version of aFramework up for download on the official site.

So What's New?

Well as usual there's been plenty of bug fixes, optimizations, tweaks and enhancements but to mention some of the bigger stuff...

Full Page Cache

aFramework now supports full page cache based on the URL. This basically means that if nothing's changed in the DB or a site's "Files"-directory since a cache was created aFramework will not re-build the requested page but instead simply fetch its cached copy.

Revisions of Content

I also added support for different revisions of content. It's only been activated for articles and pages so far but can easily be used on most DB-content.

What this really means is that any time you create or update an article or a page a backup is created that you can always go back to if need be.

This way you don't need to panic should you accidently erase an article or page's content.

Admin Enhancements

aFramework now also supports levels of admin rights. More specifically you can now log in as SU for full rights or as admin for less rights (no deleting and no dynadmin to name a couple of changes).

Some admins now also keep track of whether or not you've made changes, and if you try to leave the page without saving you'll get a warning. Most of the admins have had brush-ups as well. Both design and functionality wise.

It's a good thing I got some freelance I could use aFramework for because now I'm not the only one using the admin anymore and that's motivated me to actually make it usable (it used to be basically just PHPMyAdmin for everything :P).

For version 3.3 I intend to overlook and regenerate all the language-files for all the sites after adding a feature to the Lang-class, create around 5 pretty generic modules that can be used on basically any site and release them all as "aModPack" and write a few new aBlog modules (navigation from article to article for example).

I've tested the new zip from download to complete site and everything seems to work as it should (and takes less than four minutes) so do give it a go :)
