I've released the 0.8 Alpha version of Dandelion. You can find it under the Web section of Programs. Don't be afraid to download it and try it out if you have a server with PHP and MySQL.

Please tell me if you encounter any problems with it, as it is still in early development, so there will be bugs.

I've release the second public version of Dandelion, version 0.11 Alpha. This version includes a number of new features, improvements, and is now licensed under the GNU AGPL version 3.

The biggest new feature of this version is the entity manager. The new entity manager (com_entities) is a database abstraction layer. This new entity manager allows a developer to save data in the database simply by creating a new instance of the entity class, filling in a few required variables, and calling its save() method. There are several ways to organize entities, including tags, parent entities, and custom data. Any variable saved to the instance will be saved into the database upon calling the save() method.

I've decided to license Dandelion as AGPL so it can be of the most use to the community as possible. There doesn't seem to be many really lightweight PHP application frameworks, so hopefully Dandelion will be a unique option for PHP developers.
