Elefant is an MVC framework in PHP re-imagined, with a complete but refreshingly simple CMS included. It features simple URL routing with friendly URLs, secure database abstraction and modeling, compiled templates with output filtering on by default, memcache integration, flexible input validation (server-side and in-browser), simple form handling, customizable user authentication, internationalization/localization, CLI support for background tasks, as little scaffolding as possible, reusable apps for common CMS tasks (admin, users, blog, filemanager, search), high quality developer documentation, nearly 100% unit test coverage, gzip output compression, and speed. Changes: A MySQL installation issue was fixed.
