Paul Jones, developer of the Solar Application Framework, has posted the latest version of said software. Details for the release can be found in this blog posting over on his site.    Last night, I released version 0.24.0 of Solar, the simple object library and application repository. Solar is a PHP 5 framework for rapid application development.   You can read the change notes for a full run-down, but there are a few changes in particular that I want to highlight.    He points out changes in the form of two major packages:  Solar_Request - a new class developed to handle the request information for a script (get/post/cookie/etc) Solar_Session - a new class to handle the sessions in an application, complete with read-once "flash" support  He also mentions a small change to the built-in Ajax support for the handling of the "edit" view.
