The Jelix forge has opened today. This web site allows to developers to host their projects about jelix modules, jelix plugins, their application based on jelix or other development tools for Jelix.
Jelix already supports some of PHP 5.2 features when you make your own Jelix build with "5.2" as value in the PHP_VERSION_TARGET building parameter. But default builds availabled in the download repository are made for PHP 5.0 and later. However, this will not be the case at the latest, the February 5th, 2008. Jelix Developers agreed with the GoPHP5 campaign recommendations, which encourages both PHP projects and web hosts to support only PHP 5.2 and later. So, next February 5, 2008, Jelix will officially support all php 5.2 features and default avalaibled packages will be built for PHP 5.2 or later.
The content management system Dragon-CMS, which is still in development, use now Jelix for its server part. The particularity of this CMS is that it have two parts : a client part which is a XUL application ran by XulRunner, installed on the desktop, and a server part which is responsible to display the web site and to offer web services for the XUL client, to manage the content.
