1.6 hits the streets

Proud to announce the release of 1.6, our open source web application framework.  The release marks a new turn in the development of the framework, and has received considerable attention from both EllisLab developers and the community.

Among a host of new capabilities, this release features:

• A Database Forge class: database agnostic table and field manipulation
• An enhanced Active Record library
• A revised Session Class with “flash variables” and additional security

We’d like to take a moment to sincerely thank the incredible community, who tirelessly offered support, suggestions, fixes, enhancements and encouragement.  Our new model of development is built around you all - thanks.

is continuing to grow and evolve, and work has already begun for the next release.
