0.1.2-stable released for download
This is a maintenance release for the Scorpio Framework. It fixes many bugs and improves the documentation within the codebase as well as adding a few new features. New API docs are already available via http://api.scorpio.madagasgar.com/ Package is available as a .tar.gz or .zip package from the download page.
The next update will again be focusing largely on documentation and examples as well as including the latest version of TinyMCE which was updated rather rapidly.
The latest un-stable HEAD copy can be obtained from SVN as always.
New things
The main new feature is a database update system for applying database updates in a systematic manner. Previously these were being handled via a set of raw SQL files; but now there is a system for deploying updates in a controlled and logged manner. To use it, you must first run the system_update_2.sql file against the system database so that the log tables are in place. Then in tools there is a CLI script called dbUpdate.php.
The plugins folder has changed name to "classes". Plugins was always a temporary name and was not a very descriptive title for what the folder should be. Classes are user generated while the libraries are framework classes and functions. No library files will ever appear in the classes folder. The idea is that you can create a set of shared classes and have them safely outside of the web root and then pull them in via autoload whenever they are needed.
