It’s been quite a while since our last release, so we’re happy to announce the availability of Agavi 1.0.4 RC1, our biggest maintenance release yet!

You can download it at agavi.org or install it via the pear.agavi.org PEAR channel.

Here is a summary of the most important changes in this release (for a full list, please refer to the RELEASE_NOTES and CHANGELOG files):

• Support for the Windows Azure platform
• AgaviXsltRenderer
• AgaviDoctrineDatabase lazy initialization
• Logging enhancements
• AgaviBooleanValidator and other validation improvements and fixes
• Updated timezone database and Schematron implementation
