Alpha week #5 has officially ended today, following our weekly meeting. A quick recap of developments in recent weeks:
- User interface API is ready for integration in the Octabox service. The UI API (don’t you love those acronyms..) has been the main focus of development in recent weeks, its core is very nearly done and we’re quite pleased with the results (I will ellaborate on the API in upcoming posts).
- Several graphical widgets were created/updated using the UI API, such as Rounded Corners widget (using all CSS techniques known to man), DivTable widget for esoteric layout positioning, Dialog Box widget with outside buttons and more.
- Statistics recording inside the Octabox service.
- New designs and UI approach for several modules: Private Messages, User Preferences, To-Do. Soon all modules will recieve overhaul for the new Tab and Tag oriented approach.
- Small update to ver. 0.9.3 of the Zend Framework. Upcoming: A review of the Zend Framework

Further updates are forthcoming
