Updated to 0.7.4
Hotaru 0.7.4 is available for download here (http://hotarucms.org/showthread.php?t=152).
In Hotaru 0.7, all the global variables and objects have been taken out because they are considered bad practice in object-oriented programming. Instead of using globals, references to our main classes are passed to the constructor of each class, so for example, instead of this:
global $db;
$db->function();We can do this:
$this->db->function();Making all those changes was quite laborious, but provided a good opportunity for some extensive testing (by my standards anyway), and I feel that Hotaru 0.7 is the most solid release yet. You can see a demo here (http://demo.hotarucms.org/) and download Hotaru 0.7.4 here (http://hotarucms.org/showthread.php?t=152)
All the plugins have been updated with similar changes, too.
Hotaru 0.7.4 is a bug-fix release for the 0.7 series.
As with any alpha project, you will quite likely uncover bugs or unexpected behavior. Please report these in the appropriate Support (http://hotarucms.org/forumdisplay.php?f=5) forum so we can squash all the glitches and make Hotaru a solid and secure platform to build amazing websites on.
