Basic view integration was originally released in 0.9.2, on 6 April
2007, but had been in subversion for some weeks prior to that.
In this latest release, we introduced the ViewRenderer, an action helper
which is on by default, and which populates the view object in the
controller (as well as autorenders templates during postDispatch()).
Please read the changelog (http://framework.zend.com/changelog) as well
as the Zend_Controller migration notes
(http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.controller.migration.html) for
more information.

Most properties in Zend_Controller_Action are protected and have public
accessor methods for modifying and retrieving them. However, from the
beginning, I felt the view property should be something that could be
injected without intervention of an accessor; this has made creating the
ViewRenderer a trivial task, as it didn't need additional accessors in
the action controller in order to do its work.
