I've started a new project with ZF. It's in the beginning stages.
I'm wondering if it would be wise to use ZF2 for this, as it will
not go into production for at least 6 months from now, and even then
will only have a BETA tester user base.
Are the changes to Zend_Application significant enough to make
switching to ZF2 considerable effort?
Are there are other parts of ZF that have significant changes that I
should be aware of?
Is there a rough release time prediction?
Is this the latest ZF2 repo location or is there a better way to
access it:
http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/standard/branches/development-2.0/
That branch has been obsoleted; you'll want to grab it from our git
respository; please see http://bit.ly/zf2gitguide for details.
Thank you. I'll have a look.
As for ZF2 MVC, I'm currently in the middle of writing the proposal for
MVC implementation (I wrote a proposal for the interfaces a couple
months ago). And at this point, I'm targetting at least two
implementations: a version that mostly mimics ZF1 behavior, and another
that utilizes several new features, including the EventManager and a
Dependency Injector/Service Locator system.
The event manager might be something I'm interested in for this app. In
one of your articles you mention gearman. Are there any proposals to use
gearman with ZF2?
You can likely use the MVC as it stands now, but be aware that there
*will* be some big changes coming in the very near future.
Does that mean I can use the ZF1 behaviour implementation or I can use
the one with the new features (EventManager, etc)?
Our goal is a working version of the MVC by the end of May (if we can),
a beta during the summer, and GA by end of year. Personally, I wouldn't
start writing anything in earnest using the MVC until we get the working
version ready.
I see. Will the difference between the new MVC and the current ZF1 style
be simple enough to port over. I don't know if I want to delay the app
till the end of the year, but perhaps I'll be able to use most of what
I've written for ZF1 with the new MVC without much hassle.
Would it be a good route to take? Write for ZF1 now and use ZF2 when it
is ready or BETA? I would not mind debugging and testing ZF2 if it's
ready for that.
Almost all of the app will be modules. Are there significant changes to
the bootstrap and module loading in ZF2?
Thanks again,
Simon
