I’ve recently had the chance to have a little play with with the Kohana trunk (what will be Kohana 2.3) so I thought I would use this post to highlight some of the cool new features we can expect in the next release! The list is by no means exhaustive but will hopefully serve to lessen the learning curve when release day comes (or if you decide to have a play with the trunk). There has been some mixed reception to some of the changes, so if you’ve missed any of these then hopefully the below will get you back up to speed!

Well the last ORM tip seemed to get a bit of traffic so I thought I would throw another one together. This time it covers the little known ORM_Tree library. This is (IMO) a spectacular example of the flexibility and power of Kohana, by taking a look at this ORM extension (system/libraries/ORM_Tree) you can see quite how easily this age old storage pattern is solved by extending the ORM class.

Using it is even simpler!

Well, I havn’t posted anything for a little while, what with work, work and even some personal things i’ve been working on time just seems to of evapourated.

During the time Kohana 2.2 has been released, congratulations to everyone involved in that, there now seems to be the slow but inevitable move towards bringing the documentation up to date. Im hoping that I will find the time to put together a few tutorials soon to show of some of the new features in Kohana, and with even more hope I will be releasing a couple of small apps (fngers crossed)
