Greetings everyone,

We are excited to announce some changes in our latest release that we believe will make using our PHP framework even better.

In the past, we used the w3css library for our API Explorer, which is a fantastic CSS library. However, we have decided to rewrite the API Explorer without using third-party code. This means we are now more in control of the schedule and maintenance of this important tool.

We have also rewritten the JavaScript code used in our original API Explorer, which was previously super minified and difficult to read. This update leaves us with clear and easy-to-understand code.

Additionally, we have introduced typing hinting and return types in this update, which is something we didn't initially plan to do. However, we believe this is important given the increasing frequency of changes to PHP by the PHP Foundation. By being proactive, we can stay ahead of the curve and ensure our framework is as robust and reliable as possible.

Special thanks go to Simon (DaFa66) for his help with this one.

Thank you for your continued support, and we hope you enjoy these improvements in our latest release.

Best regards,

David Connelly
