Yesterday I released the beta4 version of the Solar Framework for PHP. You can see the change notes here.

We have also added three new chapters to the manual:

• Working with Models
• Working with Related Models
• Views and Layouts by Jon Elofson
• And some some appendices for more in-depth information about Solar's underpinnings.

Take Solar for a quick test-drive with the blog demo and see if it suits you.
