Version 1.2 brings skipDefaults() for structures, more precise control over the requirement of nested elements, key type in arrayOf(), structured error messages facilitating translations, and the ability to mark elements as deprecated.
Full PHP 8 syntax support: constructor property promotion via `addPromotedParameter()`, attributes for classes and their members, union types, and named parameters in generated code. All with practical examples.
The new version introduces cookie-based storage that allows you to build websites with login functionality entirely without sessions. In addition, thanks to the IdentityHandler interface, you can easily update roles or other identity details on every request.
Automatic CSRF protection using SameSite cookies, safer behavior of `onSuccess` and `getValues()` returning only validated data, method renaming for better clarity, and other minor improvements including changing the default protocol to HTTPS.
Automatic sending of the SameSite=Lax flag for all cookies, a new cookieDomain configuration for subdomains, renaming getName() to the more cautionary getUntrustedName(), and other changes responding to current browser developments in the area of security.
The new `transaction()` method brings elegant work with transactions using callbacks, including support for nesting. The Context class is renamed to Explorer, the SQL translator better validates inputs, and the minimum PHP version is 7.2.
The new Floats class tackles the treacherous comparison of floating-point numbers, the Arrays class gained the functions first(), last(), and invoke(), Image can detect the image type, and Nette is gradually dropping the I prefix from interface names.
Why are service names in DI containers a relic of the past, and how does Nette build autowiring directly on PHP's type system? I explain why this approach is superior to solutions in other frameworks and why I consider Nette DI to be the best in the PHP world.
The new Tracy panel displays the complete template hierarchy, and the {trace} tag reveals the rendering path from the template's perspective. In addition, there's a new n:tag attribute, the {iterateWhile} tag, block embedding, modern array syntax, and a number of new filters and functions.
Each Nette library has its own repository, lifecycle, and version number. So what does it mean when “a new version of Nette is released”? We explain why shared versioning is nonsense and show how to simply update to Nette 3.1.
PHP 8.0 brings long-missing functions like str_contains(), changes resources to objects, introduces WeakMap for memory management, and finally ships the JIT compiler. What will it actually speed up, and why shouldn't you expect miracles from it?
Attributes bring a native way to write structured metadata, replacing imprecise phpDoc annotations. We'll walk through their syntax, working with reflection, attribute classes, and practical usage in Nette, where they replace @inject, @persistent, and @crossOrigin.
Union types, mixed, false, static, Stringable, and full covariance support – PHP 8.0 brings the type system to perfection. Most phpDoc annotations like @param, @return, and @var will finally disappear, replaced by native syntax with checking done directly by the PHP engine.
PHP 8.0 is the most feature-packed version in history. In the first part of this four-part series, we walk through the language novelties: named arguments, match expressions, nullsafe operator, constructor promotion, strict operators, and other changes.
An overview of all new features in version 2.9: {foreach}+{else}, robust templates thanks to {try}/{rollback}, game-changer {embed} for block inheritance, {ifchanged}, local blocks, named arguments in PHP 8 style, and the new ??→ operator.

Contributte is growing with new packages – this time from Gamee. New libraries for RabbitMQ, JSON-RPC, and the documentation tool Anabelle have been added. Check out what's new and how it can make your work easier.
More efficient transmission of checkboxes in URLs, the {formPrint} macro for generating Latte code of forms, automatic mapping of containers to typed classes in PHP 7.4, and other improvements to netteForms.js. An overview of the most important features in Forms 3.0.x.
Milan and Vojta from PeckaDesign share their experiences from 20 years of e-shop development – from integrating Vue.js and Nuxt.js into legacy projects, through migration to Nette 3 and PHP 7.4, all the way to considerations about Kubernetes and experiences from COVID-era home office.
The new version of PhpGenerator 3.4 can also copy method bodies when creating a class or function model from an existing template. Just use the `withBodiesFrom()` method and you'll get a complete copy including the internal code.
Latte 2.8 introduces a sandbox mode for safe use of templates from untrusted sources, such as end users. Using SecurityPolicy, you can precisely define allowed tags, filters, functions, and object methods – everything else is forbidden.
You've reached the end.
