The Mason Framework did evolved a long way from what I presented here more than a year ago. There are a few more funcionalities now, and some new ideias.

Features

As I didn't updated this blog with the feature updated since 1.0.0, I'll list here all the new features.

• Handlers - the Mason Framework have now an handlers interface, that allow that base functions of the Mason Framework or those of other aplications are extended.
• DashBoard - the dashboard is a module that can be used on the admin homepage, and that calls handlers to define the content of that page.
• Ajax - version 0.1.4 adds prototype to the framework, and a simple way to create ajax handlers.
• Send Emails - version 0.1.5 adds two new methods to send emails, based on a template, or with a precise content.
• Create and Activate Accounts - Mason Framework now have modules to handle account creation and activation (to confirm email).
• Profiles and Password - New modules to:
• allow users to change their profiles
• allow users to change their password
• allow users to recover their password based on email ou username
• Show user profiles.
• RSS and Atom - Modules to create RSS and Atom feeds, based in information given by handlers.

Download

You can download the latest version of the mason framework from our git repository, including MFWork v0.1.6. I would recommend that you try to keep up-to-date, as in this stage a lot of new things will come to live.
