A bit under stress (as usual, who doesn't know) we brought out beta 1, missing some refactoring and unification work, testing and documentation improvements. About a month ago it's been the time, where we were about to release the first beta version of the `eZ components`__, the new - new BSD licensed - enterprise open source library. A bit under stress (as usual, who doesn't know) we brought out beta 1, missing some refactoring and unification work, testing and documentation improvements. .. __: http://ez.no/products/ez_components Now it's finally done and after a lot of work during the past 4 weeks, we are ready to `release the 2nd beta version`__. A nice christmas present I would say. :) .. __: http://ez.no/community/news/ez_components_beta2_released |image_1| .. |image_1| image:: http://ez.no/var/ezno/storage/images/download/other_downloads/powered_by_ez_components_logos/211x16/472697-1-eng-GB/211x16.png The feedback on beta 1 was quite positive, at least what I experienced. By I'm sure it will be really good, now. The `API of the components`__ has been highly unified, the naming scheme and usage of specific features is smooth and using the classes starts really making fun. I also have to admit, that I never saw a better documented PHP project so far (I could not discover any undocumented element so far). .. __: http://ez.no/doc/components/overview A deeper impression on what has changed from beta 1 to 2, can be found `in the extended version`__ of this entry and in the `changelog`__ of beta 2. .. __: /applications/blog/index.php?/archives/398-A-joyride-to-eZ-components-beta2.html#extended .. __: http://ez.no/download/ez_components/ez_components_1_unstable_releases/1_0/ez_components_1_0_beta_2/changelog To try out the new version of our entrprise component library, simply do **$ pear install -a components.ez.no/eZComponents-beta** if you haven't installed an earlier version, yet, or **$ pear upgrade ezc/eZComponents-beta** if you already have beta 1 installed on your system. For those of you who do not use the PEAR Installer to manage their eZ components installation, an explicit download package is available `here`__. .. __: http://ez.no/download/ez_components **I would be glad to receive some feedback on our work, so tell me, what do you geeks out there say?** We decided to `publish the extended entry of this blog directly on ez.no`__. Please leave any feedback here as a comment, as a comment to the article itself or on the `eZ components forum`__! .. __: http://ez.no/community/articles/a_joyride_to_ez_components_beta2 .. __: http://ez.no/community/forum ..

Congratulations for your work. I must ask though, is there any chance to see a downloadable copy of the documentation? (API, Tutorial and such) There are still people with dial-up. (ahem... me :P) Keep up the great work :) - Toby at Fri, 23 Dec 2005 22:10:12 +0100 Hi Nikos! Thanks for the feedback, that makes me very happy. I know we do not provide a downloadable documentation for the new release by now, but maybe that's manageable after Christmas. For now, you can simply genrate the doc's yourself, if you need them offline, using [http://www.phpdoc.org phpDocumentor] ("$ pear install phpDocumentor-beta"): $ phpdoc -q -d ezc/ -i autoload/*autoload.php -t ./doc -o HTML:frames:phpedit -dn NoPackageName -dc NoCategoryName -s on -pp on That should do the trick. Keep me informed, how you like the components! :) - Derick at Fri, 23 Dec 2005 23:07:49 +0100 We will make downloadable docs available later, also in Windows CHM format most likely. For now it's a bit hard as the template that we use does not render nice views of the documentation because of the viewing module in our CMS. - Hotfredlive at Thu, 29 Mar 2012 08:10:45 +0200 delit plz .
