First release of Amethyst! Note, this is a preview version, it has poor functionality yet, but it works. The main achievement is framework architecture, that allows Amethyst to grow up fast and unpainly. For now, we have:

• working class-based controllers with actions methods
• simple routing that maps controllers actions
• class-based middleware support
• support of GET method (yet)

As we have a pretty solid base, we can move towards extending a functionality. Goals of next release:

• static files serving
• REST architecture (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
• cookies support
• POST and GET parameters
