Hi all framework contributors, First, I want to give a *big* thank you for all the hard work and generous contributions of time and expertise from the community, who make successful releases of Zend Framework possible! :)
This message is a reminder that the code freeze for the 1.0.4 and 1.5.0RC1 releases begins tomorrow, Wednesday, February 20 at 21:00 (9:00pm) PST (GMT-8). All contributors should have completed their work for these releases by this time. Contributions slated for 1.0.4 should be merged to the release-1.0 branch, and contributions slated for 1.5.0RC1 should be committed to the trunk by code freeze. After code freeze begins, we'll create a new release-1.5 branch in SVN, from which all 1.5.X releases (e.g., 1.5.0RC1, 1.5.0GA, 1.5.1) will be tested and tagged for packaging. The 1.0.4 release marks the end of active maintenance on the release-1.0 branch, and the new release-1.5 branch will become the active maintenance branch from which mini-releases such as 1.5.1 would be produced. During the code freeze, development may continue as usual in the trunk, but merges to the release-1.0 and release-1.5 branches should not occur without approval from a Zend liaison (Alex, Matthew, Ralph, Wil, or myself). We plan to make available the release packages this Friday for sanity checking by the community over the weekend, and on Monday we'll go ahead with publishing the release if we haven't discovered any show-stoppers by that time. Thanks again for all your support! :) Best regards, Darby
