Lately, we spent quite some time optimizing Mouf's performance. It appeared that one of the bottlenecks was Composer's autoload mechanism. Our application was spending quite some time in the autoloader instead of doing interesting things.

I was curious to see how much was spent in Composer's autoloader, so I did a little benchmark with a simple "Hello World!" ap

This has been a big week for Mouf. Amongst the many packages that have been added this week, I'm proud to announce a brand new "html.renderer". This is a package (PHP 5.4+) that allow you to easily make your objects renderable in HTML.

In this article, I will add every day what's new in the upcoming Mouf 2.0 release!

This article will be regularly updated as we add new features to Mouf 2.0

Minor changes

Hi guys! I'm really thrilled to announce the first stable release of Mouf: v1.0. We have been working on Mouf for several years now, and achieving the 1.0 milestone has been our main objective for 3 years. In 3 years, Mouf has gone from a pet project to a complete eco-system, entirely based on graphical dependency injection. Using Mouf, we have managed to

We are proud to announce the first officiel release of Mouf. Labelled Mouf v0.9, you can download it from the download page. Why did we start with version 0.9?

We inaugurate a new era for Mouf documentation with a brand new feature : video tutorials.
