I’m taking a bit of time (before leaving for a week of pure holiday) to write some pages of the P4A manual.

After the latest post about P4A’s I18n I’m now working on the first mask page, containing documentation about building widgets, displaying them in the mask, using layout managers (frames, fieldsets, canvases, sheets) and using the field.

Work is nearly completed, I think I’ll finish it today and that will be great!

We still have a lot of parts that need documentation, you can find the list here, you know… your help would be really appreciated!

We’re not on holiday yet, time for a new minor release :-)

Changelog:

• a small change was done on P4A_Array_Source to enable the usage of empty array_sources without warnings
• tooltips are now automatically translated at rendering time
• P4A_DB_Source::saveRow() now reads pk values back from Zend_DB_Table::insert() gaining better functionality with auto increment primary keys
• jQuery UI was updated to 1.5.2
• a small bug with P4A_I18N::_normalize() method was solved
• p4a_focus_set() javascript function was reworked to avoid a javascript warning in firebug
• loading a P4A_Array_Source with a simple array of data now does not create the “0″ field anymore, it’s been renamed to “f0″ to avoid problems with some PHP configurations with numerical object properties

Changelog:

- a bug about session name was solved

It was a long long journey started on December 17th, 2007, with more than 800 commits it has really been an hard work but we’re proud to tell everybody that P4A 3.0 is finally released!

Thank you everybody contributed to this wonderful release!

I suggest you to check the official release notes, they’re full of useful info and… For who was waiting… commercial license is available too.

Note: the image at the top is just a humorous revisitation of P4A logo with some “300 the movie” effect :-) hope you enjoyed.

I spend some hours working on the new P4A wiki that’s finally open for contributions, I finished some guides:

• migrate your P4A 2 applications to P4A 3
• P4A 3 color schemas
• P4A 3 icons packs

and I’m working on the new P4A manual which is definitively a long work and would really need your help.

I think that we can expect the final P4A 3 release in a few days :-)
