Application Kit 0.9.0 Released

The framework is finally useable. It's still missing many features that you'd expect in a framework and it's still pretty buggy, but for anyone adventurous, the Application Kit was released today. The Application Kit provides everything you need to get going with Wax. It provides a basic application structure that can be extended into a full application. The Application Kit is still only bundled with the 2 essential blocks: webcore and messageboxes. In the future, releases will be bundled with database connectivity blocks as well as some other utility blocks. Running the Application Kit is easy -- just unzip into the Document Root of the webserver and navigate to http://localhost/app.wax to launch the application. In the meantime, you can generate fairly static websites with the current version (0.9.0) of the Application kit, available at http://code.google.com/p/waxphp
