The Cation application framework (version 1.0.14) is now available and in the public domain. Get it at svn://casadeamor.com/cation/trunk

Cation is a generic, lightweight application framework. Use it to build the "View" in an MVC application. This release, however, only provides tools for web applications.

Supported web servers: IIS+ASP, Apache2+mod_python, and WSGI (prototype).

Additional features: 1. Thread-safe application state management 2. Built-in Logging 3. Configuration data management 4. Workers for getting things done on a schedule, possibly recurring 5. Startup/shutdown functions 6. Registry of active user interfaces 7. Simple but powerful HTML Assembly mechanism (or use your own!)

Cation welcomes your use and feedback as an application developer.

Cation also welcomes framework developers. New code for additional webservers, GUI's, dispatch algorithms, log styles, configuration parsers, and standard Workers will be gladly reviewed for inclusion in future releases. Drop me an email if you feel so inclined.
