What's cooking?

A lot of things are being worked on the 1.6 branch.  A few of the highlights:

• Continuing the pluginization works done in the 1.5 branch, Croogo has been modified so it can be installed as a 'vendor'.
• Composer support (Requires PHP > 5.3)
• Support for adding API to existing controllers.  In the future, this will be used to provide RESTful APIs for internal Croogo use.
• Kickstart your development server with Vagrant
• Build tasks with Grunt
• Package management with Bower
• Schema changes for supporting Trackable behavior
• Column `users.timezone` has been enlarge to store timezone names

If you're comfortable living on the bleeding edge, you can easily try the 1.6 branch using composer:

composer create-project croogo/app --stability=dev project_name
