Thoughts, ideas, random notes, ramblings...

After two months of active development we have released Fuel as an early beta. While Fuel is still not production ready we feel it is ready for people to start using it so they can review the framework, provide feedback before v1.0.0 and get a feel for how everything works. The team have made several applications with the framework and it's working well for us, why not give it a try?

After much thought and debate, we have officially decided to drop PHP 5.2 support and require PHP 5.3.  Most likely it will be PHP 5.3.2, however we are unsure at this time.  We do know it will not be 5.3.3.

A lot of people may think that is a bad move, and that it reduces our target audience.  Well, it does, but only initially.  PHP 5.3 is quickly becoming the standard version used on most servers.  So, even if it is not the most popular version now, it soon will be.  Combine that with the great features that come along with PHP 5.3 and we can't help but go for it.
