This entry is a continuation of the Solar CLI series--a series that aims to detail Solar CLI commands, available options, parameters, and usage examples. In this entry we take a look at make-vendor, a command to generate a new project, otherwise known as a "vendor space."
One of the nice things Solar has to offer is its CLI (Command Line Interface), which can be used to accomplish tasks that would otherwise eat up valuable time, such as creating a new project, applications, models, tests, and documentation. In this entry, and others that will follow, I will be showing you how to use the current (Solar v1.0.0 alpha2) CLI, detailing commands, available options, parameters, and usage examples. So make sure that you have a fresh pot of coffee and let's get to it!
As part of the Solar-1.0.0alpha2 release, we included an SQL adapter that lets you connect to master/slave MySQL installations. Read on for how to set it up using just the config file.
This entry is an extension to the current manual page for user authentication and is intended for folks who have already been through the basics of Solar. What I hope to accomplish here is to show you how to setup user authentication using MySQL, something the manual currently does not elaborate upon.
Solar_Registry is a class for storing singleton objects which are used usually for things like SQL objects and the response and request objects. Now what's interesting, is that in the new version of Solar a new configuration key registry_set was added for the Solar arch-class. You can use it to tell Solar to automatically add objects to the registry when it starts up.
As of late last night, you can now download (no SVN required) a tarball of a fully-operational Solar system with the 1.0.0alpha2 code in place.

We're happy to announce the release of Solar 1.0.0alpha2. After almost a year of changes and improvements, this one has been a long time in coming.
You can see the download-and-installation instructions here.
Read more for the raw list of change notes; I'll post summary descriptions of the changes and improvements in other blog entries.
Instead of posting Solar news and notes at our own blogs ...
... we have decided to start posting Solar-specific content here instead.
I hope this becomes a valuable resource for all Solar users.
Please bear with us while we work out the kinks, and thanks for reading.
