Limb 3.x PEAR channel was officially launched!
Hello all!
After almost a year of hard working we're proud to announce the launch of PEAR channel for Limb 3.x packages: http://pear.limb-project.com!
These packages should greatly simplify the process of developing web applications with PHP. One of the most interesting packages among them is web_app which allows you to develop web applications in Rails(http://rubyonrails.com) alike way using similar controllers, pretty flexible ActiveRecord powered model and excellent WACT(http://phpwact.org) based views.
These are the steps you're required to follow in order to install web_app package and all its dependencies:
$ pear install PEAR-alpha # as of this writing PEAR 1.5 is required which is in aplha state
$ pear channel-discover pear.limb-project.com
$ pear install limb/web_app-alpha # we're in alpha state too ;)
The channel has a bit terse look right now however this is going to be fixed pretty soon. We're also working on providing automatic nightly builds of packages right from the repository.
The english documentation is mostly outdated but we're working on this issue as well(we're finishing the Russian documentation at the moment). However there are some simple examples in web_app package which, hopefully, should help you get started quickly.

events making form processing much easier in some cases
* <form:ERRORS> tag now displays form general errors
* <form:FIELDS_ERRORS> tag displays form fields specific errors(former <form:ERRORS>)
* db driver improvements: auto transaction, connection resuming, etc
* Now it's possible to pass arguments for the action in controller _define_actions() method
