E29 is pleased to announce the third maintenance release of Serenity AP. You can download the new build from the usual place, and then follow the upgrade instructions.

v2008.Summer.3 adds the following functionality:

• Serenity::get_config() now takes an override to retrieve any application configuration
• Serenity’s Data layer now takes an application key override to use another application’s SQL map
• The Serenity Single Sign On widget is now functional and included.
• Application helper classes are now automagically loaded at runtime

v2008.Summer.3 fixes the following issues:

• Using session / ACL functions inside an application using a different database host/db would cause SQL map errors.
• Connection cloning was incorrectly creating multiple driver instances
• Bug in Serenity::set_cookie() would set SSO cookies under the wrong path

About Serenity Application Platform
Serenity AP is a PHP web application framework that was designed to be as small and unobtrusive as possible. Comparisons can be made to CakePHP, Ignite Framework, etc, however Serenity is not a strict MVC framework, nor a strict application framework. What Serenity does well is provide a simple host->action->application binding UI and all the tools a developer would need to build anything from a customer management system to a single script.
