I’m probably the most qualified to address this question, so here’s my chime in. We still have some work to do with Zend_Tool and Zend_Application, as well as giving more time to contributors to finish proposals that we’ve given recommendations on in the past few weeks, so we’re simply not prepared to give out dates yet.
I would say Q2 is a safe bet, but then again I have a tendency to pull things in if I see a release getting too big or starting to form too many dependencies on incomplete features. ☺ I don’t recommend planning anything based on the timing of the 1.8 release at this point. So, what *does* the ZF team recommend WRT the release? • Help us out with the release by trying the components in incubator and giving us feedback. Zend_Tool is particularly important, and- as it is primarily a RAD tool that generates code- there shouldn’t be significant concerns as far backwards compatibility to the production version goes. I’m actually *begging* you to try this component; WE MUST GET THIS ONE RIGHT. If you don’t like the SVN route, Ralph has set up a PEAR channel. Instructions can be found here: http://ralphschindler.com/. • Take a look at the Zend_Application proposal and leave feedback: http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Application+-+Ben+Scholzen. This is another critical component that we cannot afford to get wrong. It will likely affect 95% of you in profound ways. • Help us in the ways that you do for any release: file bugs, submit patches, update the wiki, etc. To be completely honest, 1.8 is *big*. As far as user impact goes, probably bigger than 1.5. This makes the risk manager in me sound the alarms at top volume. So you can help me maintain my personal sanity by doing what you can to make the 1.8 release a success. :P ,Wil From: Cristian Bichis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 10:57 PM To: [email protected] >> Zend Mailing List Subject: Re: [fw-general] Zend Framework 1.8 Mid of march for 1.8 release according to talks into #zftalk... -- Best regards, Cristian Bichis www.zftutorials.com | www.zfforums.com | www.zftalk.com | www.zflinks.com I don't think it should be that long before it's release as 1.8 is feature complete in the incubator.
