The following updates have been made to the Appbuilder dependency management.

Appbuilder has been updated to resolve/update against the applications which are in the list of applications open in the Appbuilder (in addition to applications in the local repository), rather than resolving against applications which are in peer folders.  We have had complaints that resolving against [...]

We have added support for the main APC extensions into sMash in the latest driver. These are good for caching data (oddly enough) which can be seen by all requests running in a single engine. We are using an internal storage format which for multiple reader situations is faster than deserialization. Some applications like SugarCRM [...]

We are pleased to announce that Monza (the latest sMash development driver) will now install and run the open source course management system (CMS) Moodle. You can find installation instructions on our Development Wiki. This adds to the growing list of popular PHP applications that we support (you can find a list of supported [...]
