File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: Development 1.0.0

Notes:
PhpMVC Development v. 1.0.0
=================================================

Date: 2006-02-27
Summary: php.MVC Web Application Framework Dev 1.0.0 Released

php.MVC is a Model View Controller (MVC) framework for PHP Web 
applications. php.MVC implements the Model-View-Controller design 
pattern, and encourages Web application design based on the Model 2 
paradigm. This design model allows Web pages or other contents 
(Views) to be separated from the applications business logic, or 
code (Model). The use of this design philosophy makes it easier for 
designers and programmers to focus on their respective areas of 
expertise. 

This is a development release of the php.MVC framework. A full production 
version will be released after any issues with this release are addressed.

This release contains bug fixes and enhancements to the framework, and 
also includes a compressed performance version for use in more demanding 
hosting environments. Please refer to the test application described 
below for an example of how to use the compressed performance version 
in an application.
