This is a bugfix release with a fix for a single, critical bug. The PhPassAuthenticationProvider class will report any given password as valid and therefore allow you to log in with any given password. Please note that this does not compromise existing or new passwords. It is strongly recommended to upgrade from 0.9.13 to this version.
Use of the sfymfony2 dependency injection container was extended. Framework code changes were made to streamline configuration and customization. The groundwork is now in place to tackle a proper checkout API.
This is the first release to provide the full power of a dependency injection container (based on symfon2).

Support was added for environments with different configuration. Event handling and dispatching was improved.
