Cognifty is a sound framework based on tested, proven ideas of building Web apps.
The simple, object-oriented design has been used on the largest and smallest applications
on the Web. Cognifty lets you program PHP, it doesn't try to be any other language or any
other framework. Here are some things Cognifty has that you won't find in other "frameworks"
Users and groups
Pluggable handlers for controllers, templating, configuration, and layout
3-level Module / Service / Event structure
Real applications are built with Cognifty
Run apps built with other "frameworks"
Cognifty is the new PHP framework based on old ideas. Flexible enough to run other frameworks inside itself, Cognifty is the perfect choice for new integration or legacy development.
This is mainly a bug-fix relase for 12 with new search and 404 handling capabilities.
Database changes required: no
Changes to config file definitions: no
Breaking changes to custom code: no
