5.8.0RC1: The first pre-release of the upcoming 5.8-SERIES

at 2010-08-10 in ReleasesAnnouncements5.8-SERIES by friebe (0 comments)

Branch The 5.8-branch has now been maintained since almost a year, gathering features and maturity and is now basically a 5.7.11-dev with the most of the items planned for the 5.8.0 release:

  • Revamped generics implementation - will now also work for primitives
  • Private / protected member access via reflection even without PHP 5.3's setAccessible()
  • A new ArrayType class and the typeof(var) core functionality to complete the XP framework's type system
  • The array and map indexer this() to reduce temporary variables with missing array dereferencing
  • ...and many more

You can grab a release as always by using our setup routine:
  $ cd ~/xp
$ wget http://releases.xp-framework.net/setup/5.8.0RC1 -O - | php -- -d ~/bin/
...to give it a test run. Enjoy:-)
