I think about code often. Sometimes, I just close my eyes, think about the code I've written and the many ways to make it better. Just the other day, I started wondering about using DTO's and Value Objects as an option for better strict typing. Here is some of the code that popped up in my head:
Currently, if a route does not exist, CodefyPHP will return a 404 JSON response. But this can be overridden with a custom 404 page.

Protecting the admin or backend of an application is one of the most important features of any website.

This is a very small maintenance release. In the App\Infrastructure\Services\UserAuth class (located in skeleton), USERSESSID was hardcoded instead of using the user specified cookie name from ./config/auth.php. It also has been added as a shared instance in App\Infrastructure\Providers\RbacServiceProvider.
Another bug that was fixed, was an extra semicolon after an if statement. The bug did not cause any adverse reactions, but deemed it necessary to take care of.
CodefyPHP 3 is the newest release of the PHP web framework for building complex applications. This release includes a plethora of changes, updates, enhancements, and bug fixes. Due to config changes cross many file of the config files, it is recommended that you read thoroughly through the documentation and the skeleton app to ascertain the best way to upgrade your existing applications.
