The Zend Framework Preview Release 0.2.0 is now on the web site
framework.zend.com available for download.
I'm sure there will be more fanfare coming, particularly since today is
the first day of the Zend Conference (http://www.zendcon.com), but first
I wanted to say thank you to the Zend Framework developer community for
all the hard work you have put into the Zend Framework code, tests,
documentation, and doc translations. I've only been a part of the team
for a few weeks, but I'm pretty awestruck by the terrific contributions
this project gets every day. This is a true open-source project,
developed by the community and for the community. I look forward to
working with you all to complete version 1.0.
Folks on this mailing list are familiar with the state of the Zend
Framework from working directly with the sources in subversion, but here
are a few highlights of the changes since the last preview release:
* New MVC implementation
* New HTTP request and response objects make it easy to automate
unit testing for web apps without a web server, and also make it
possible to use MVC for command-line and PHP-GTK application development
* Enhanced pure PHP Lucene-compatible search engine component
* New Mysqli DB adapter
* New JSON server
* New REST client and server
* New XmlRpc client and server
* New Acl component
* New Session component
* New Web Services clients for Delicious and Audioscrobbler
* New Registry component
* Significant improvements to many other components
* Lots of new documentation and translations
