Lithium framework – CakePHP is dead… Lithium was born!!!
October 29th, 2009 by hildesign

Cake3 / “sandbox” is now the Lithium framework

Hey guys (and ladies) !

If you’re receiving this email, you’re on the user list for the
project codenamed Cake3 / sandbox. First of all, thanks for your
interest. We’re really excited about the future of this codebase, and
the cutting-edge PHP features it takes advantage of.

Unfortunately, there’s been some confusion that’s arisen as a result
of it. After stepping back to get some perspective on the situation,
we realized that both the CakePHP project and this new codebase would
be better served if we spun it off into its own project.

So today, we’re very proud to announce that the project formerly known
as Cake3 has been updated and is being released under a new name:
Lithium. The Lithium framework project project will continue to be
developed by the same team that started it as Cake3, along with a few
new faces, all of whom you’ll be introduced to in the coming days and
weeks. If you’d like to stop in and say ‘hi’, drop by #li3 on
irc.freenode.net; we’d love to chat.

You can check out the new project at http://li3.rad-dev.org/ and see
the full list of associated plugins and example applications at
http://rad-dev.org/projects.

So thanks again for your support & interest, and we look forward to
continuing to develop the future with you.

See you’round the tubes!
