This review concentrates on some selected topics concerning the release of magnetic energy and associated phenomena in flares. Emphasis is on microflares, recent studies of different phases of flares, and propagation and trapping of flare accelerated electrons. The ongoing analysis of the observations of the previous solar cycle reaches a state where quantitative models become possible. The subject of solar flares can be broken up into several, now well defined physical problems.
