In this release we have merged the documentation for the CSS and PDI frameworks into a single User Guide. This will help developers to gain quick access to all the documentation for both frameworks.
PHP 5.3 Support
Beginning with Beta 2 we have added support for PHP 5.3. This will enable you to take advantage of the new closure and lambda functions features of PHP 5.3
<?php
$page['#button']->click(function() {
C()->alert('Hello World! - PHP 5.3 Rules!');
});
?>
The Switchboard
The switchboard takes the framework a step further in helping developers to quickly develop their own MVC based solutions.
Embedded Applications
Imagine being able to create an application that you can insert into just about any web page with a single line of HTML code. The embedded feature makes it easier to re-use, share or import your PDI applications into any static or dynamically generated web page (e.g. ASP.Net, JSP, Perl, Python, Ruby, etc)
Web Page Plugins
With the new plugin support you can create your own re-useable Datagrids, Listbox, TreeViews or Navigation Menus that can be easily added to a web page.
Rich Element Extension
Adding new features to your rich elements could not have been easier. With a single method call you can transform your elements into something beautiful.
System Events
With system events you can now receive system-wide notifications whenever the session has started or a web page has been initialized.
Template Binder Enhancements
The new tplEdit option makes it easier to add editing features to your data lists, tables and repeater.
