After more than a year of development, we're extremely excited to announce the release of Phalcon 2.0 (final).
Those that have been following the project closely, know that this has not been a small feat.
We had to create a brand new language Zephir which allows developers to write PHP extensions easily.
We had to completely rewrite most of Phalcon 1.3.x, offering the same functionality as before so as to ensure that upgrading will be very easy.
Zephir had to be adjusted and enhanced as we moved through the rewrite, offering more functions and options to developers.
Additional features were implemented for 2.0, mostly thanks to our contributors!
The results are something that we are very proud of:
Phalcon 2.0, offering compatible functionality (and more) as before
Zephir, allowing developers to write their own extensions easily without the need to know C.
