CakePHP RC3 – The RC of Triumph!
It’s finally here: the final release before the final release of

content are now about 5x faster overall.

Progress on the Entity Framework Provider for Firebird
Today, after some days/weeks, I finally created some noticable (= not only internals) progress with Entity Framework provider for Firebird.
