Beta 4
Just noticed that in the last few days keyword searches for Picora have gone through the roof. So, I'm setting the official date for this Sunday at noon (see the project page). It's mostly done now, but I want to make some more progress on the docs, and it's the 4th of July! And I have a day job...
Fortunately, the releases will be a lot more incremental after that.
Thanks for staying tuned!

Great, I can hardly wait to put my hands on it. :)
Thanks for the hard work.

Where to download ??

"Start a new project", big blue button in the upper right hand side. Maybe I should have that say "download" instead. Most of the code is out now, so I figure it'll take a month or 6 weeks before the pages, docs and bugs are ironed out.

Thanks! Successfully downloaded the zip. Here's some feedback (issues):
- Each file in the downloaded zip appears two times.
- Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'ApplicationController class was not found.' in the PicoraDispatcher code. I don't use ApplicationController class so I removed the one that came in the zip, and received the exception.
- I like CakePHP's approach with having 'public' directory in the root and having .htaccess file in the root that routes all requests into the 'public' directory, which contains only index.php. Thus user won't have access to any other application folder.

What ZIP program are you using? I only see each file once, could you send me the full file list of what you end up with, OS, etc.
The ApplicationController contains the default layout and error callbacks, so if you remove them, you'll need to set new callbacks. Do you think these should live in PicoraDispatcher instead?
Totally agree on the public folder bit, I'll put up a post about some proposed structures on thursday.

Before downloading, I entered 'http://localhost/shop/' base url, then clicked both 'check all' links and clicked 'Download'. Inside the archive in the 'shop' folder files appear only once, but in subfolders - classes, controllers, views - files are doubled. I used WinRAR archiver, and also 'Far' filemanager's built in archive reader on Windows XP. I can send you the archive if you wish.
Not sure about the callbacks, don't know how you use them, and didn't look in the source code. But seems to me PicoraDispatcher should not have dependency on AppicationController class; maybe it should depend on PicoraController?

Hi!
Any news about beta 4? An alfa preview maybe? :)
I am sure that there are quite a few guys very very anxious (just like me) to put their hands on it.
Thanks.
