Pop PHP Framework 1.7.0 Release
Released December 1, 2013

The Pop PHP Framework is a robust, yet easy-to-use PHP framework with a verbose API. It supports PHP 5.3+.

The beginnings of this framework were humble. Originally containing only 9 components, the focus was placed in simplicity and being lightweight. It attempted to provide solutions in areas such as graphics and images, which were found lacking (or completely ignored) in other frameworks and libraries.

Today, the Pop PHP Framework maintains its simplicity and is still lightweight. And, even though many new features have been built in, the framework can still easily be used as merely a toolbox, or as a major framework for the foundation of your applications.

To see a list of the new and vastly improved features in the framework, view the CHANGELOG.md file.

Most of these extensions are generally included in PHP 5.3.0+, but should there be any issues in any of these areas, please verify that the related extensions are installed and configured properly. The PHP mail function is dependant on the whichever mail program is available and correctly installed on the server.

• ImageMagick 6.5.*
• Ghostscript 8.70 or 8.71

Any variation in the versions of the required software may contribute to the Pop\Image\Imagick component not functioning properly.
