Phalcon v4.0.0-beta.2 released

The Phalcon Team is happy to announce the release of v4.0.0 Beta 2! Github Tag.

We might sound like a broken record with every blog post but we cannot stress enough how thankful we are to our community. The contributions, testing, documentation updates and questions really help push Phalcon forward and make us offer the best possible framework for all to use! Thank you again!

We would like to also welcome Ruud Boon who is joining the core team today. We thank him for his contributions and advice so far and looking forward to more in the future.

Phalcon v4 Beta 2 addresses several bugs that have been reported from the community, primarily focused on interface changes. As one would expect, through testing we found more issues that we need to address so our cards to do increased from the previous release.

You can see the remaining cards for v4 in our project page.

Work is slowly moving ahead also in our documentation. We have completed checking a few more documents, This effort can be tracked in this issue.
