Site outage

November 5, 2015

As you may have noticed, in the last few days the PRADO website has been unavailable. Unfortunately the server hosting the website suddently died, resulting in the website being unaccessible. A new server has been put in place, and we are now recovering the website data from the last backups. The website is planned to be fully working in a few days. In the meanwhile, you can always refer to our github project site.

Thank you for your patience,

Prado 3.2.4 is released!

August 26, 2014

The PRADO Team is proud to announce the formal release of PRADO 3.2.4.

This release backports a number of significative bugfixes and changes from the master branch where the new, jQuery-based Prado is been developed.
This release officially introduces Wsat, an useful tool coded by DarthDaniel that can help out generating Active Record classes.

This release should be an easy plug-in update from previous 3.2.x Prado versions, without any backwards-compatibility issue; anyway, if you find any problem feel free  to report it, and we'll take care of sorting it out.

Finally, some words on the current development.
We have some new members helping out the development: welcome in Daniel and David! Many thanks goes to them and also to all the others that have reported issues and fixes on the project's github pages.

Enjoy!
