TYPO3 Flow

TYPO3 Flow can be used independently of TYPO3, as a classic development framework for various applications, RIAs or websites.

TYPO3 Flow merges many advanced programming techniques and principles, from MVC, to IoC, AoP, DDD and TDD.

It is recommended to have some prior experience with any PHP framework before delving into TYPO3 Flow.

This is because the framework was built especially to handle the advance features and complexity introduced in recent TYPO3 CMS releases, and by doing so requires a higher level of PHP programming knowledge as well.

What is new in version 1.0.0 beta1:

• The MVC stack has been revised after our real-world experiences and now features more handy validations and error handling.
• The command line support has been greatly improved.

What is new in version 1.0.0 alpha14:

• The setting FLOW3:resource:publishing:fileSystem:mirrorMode is now set to "link" by default which means that instead of copying each resource file to the public directory, symlinks are used.
• Support for the serialization accelerator igbinary. If the igbinary extension is loaded, the VariableFrontend of the cache framework will use its serialize() and unserialize() functions instead of the PHP built-in variants.
• Instead of checking for emerged classes or generally for available class names, the ReflectionService will now reflect classes only once (when the reflection cache is empty) and won't try it again (if detectClassChanges is disabled, such in production context).
• Another measure to speed up initialization was to not cache the method DocComments anymore. Saves more than 1MB of caching data.

What is new in version 1.0.0 alpha13:

• The unit tests now expect PHPUnit 3.5.0 (or later) to be installed via PEAR, the PHPUnit package is no longer part of the distribution. You should make sure to remove it from Packages/Framework.
