Phalcon 5.0.0alpha3 Released!

We are very happy to announce the release of Phalcon v5.0.0 Alpha 3!

Github Tag

Another “maintenance” release for v5 series. We made some changes to the release tag to align with PECL as well as fixed a few bugs and worked on interfaces. We are encouraging our early adopters to install the new version and provide feedback.

This release requires PHP 7.4 or PHP 8.0

Huge thanks to our contributors that reported issues, offered input as well as submitted pull requests with additions and corrections!

NOTE: You can always check our roadmap and the status of our active sprint for v5 in our project page: https://github.com/orgs/phalcon/projects/4
