Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. George Santayana
The history of Kohana is told backwards, because we are looking forward.
November 2007
Kohana version 2.0 is released. PHP5 based. New fully OOP framework, no legacy code, includes modules, built on the cascading resources concept.
September - October 2007
We get a BDFL, decision to go PHP5 only, new life, new goals. Almost total rewrite undertaken by developers. (All three of them)
August 2007. Our Project leader goes walkabout, not much happens.
June - July 2007 Kohana is re-released as version 1.0, without documentation.
Lots of ideas and discussions on the way forward,
June 2007.
A new Name, forum, Trac.
BlueFlame, a community fork of CodeIgniter is released.
Reactions and responses. The fork splits.
May 31 2007 BlueFlame announced
Up until May 2007
The founding members of Kohana are from the Codeigniter community.
Our initial happiness, and later unhappiness, with CI.
