So, the hot news are that Kohana 3.1, due by the end of the year, will be the last release for PHP 5.2.x. The next release, Kohana 3.2 will be support only PHP 5.3+. This is great news for people that already enjoying the benefits of PHP 5.3 which are major: Namespaces, lambda (anonymous) functions, and more…

One of the hot new features in Kohana 3.1 is Lambda routes. For example:

<?php
Route::set('testing', function($uri)
	{
		if ($uri == 'foo/bar')
			return array(
				'controller' => 'welcome',
				'action'     => 'foobar',
			);
	}
);

Route::set('testing', function($uri)
	{
		if ($uri == '</language regex/>(.+)')
		{
			Cookie::set('language', $match[1]);
			return array(
				'controller' => 'welcome',
				'action'     => 'foobar'
			);
		}
	}
);

Github added a tree slide feature, which means when you browse code now in Github (using Firefox 4, Chrome or Safari), you don’t have to wait for all the page to refresh and all the assets to reload, they introduced a new HTMl5 History API with some cool sliding effect.

December 1, 2010: Total Commander 7.56 is now available for download. This version mainly corrects some errors which were found after the release of Total Commander 7.55a, but also adds some minor new features. The most important are:

• Button bar right click menu: Option to run a program as administrator
• Find files: Keep last search results when using “Go to file” or “Cancel”
• Lister and Compare by content: Auto-detect UTF-8 files by their content

Sometimes the project you’re working on can include a lot of useless files or non-related you wish to ignore. Using phpStorm, goto Settings (Alt+Ctrl+S) | Directories | Select folders to exclude.

This will often let phpStorm be even more excise when displaying the object relationship trail.
