The first stable version of PHP development platform Cake was released today. Its goal is to provide a structured framework that enables PHP users at all levels to rapidly develop robust web applications, without any loss to flexibility.

Creators Cake Software Foundation say it is "a rapid development framework for PHP which uses commonly known design patterns like ActiveRecord, Association Data Mapping, Front Controller and MVC."

The project website at cakephp.org offers access to documentation and installation files. The v1.0 distribution archive is around 200KB in size.  It is available for download at cakeforge.org . Cake is distributed under the MIT License.

Version 1.0.1.2708 is the final result of five months of development.  The list of planned features for v2.0 is available at https://trac.cakephp.org/wiki/Proposals/2.0ToDoList .
