Hi all, just a quick reminder that our intention is to make 1.5 a completely backwards compatible release.
*If you have made an API or behavior change for 1.5 that is not backwards compatible, please notify me ASAP.* To reiterate the team's position on backwards compatibility: not all Zend Framework releases will be backwards compatible, but the intention is to reserve BC breaks for major releases and only with good justification. Of course, backwards compatibility is only guaranteed for general availability releases; we will not make any guarantees explicit or otherwise for BC with 0.x, preview releases, or release candidates. It might seem counter-intuitive, but this relatively strict backwards compatibility policy allows us to continue looking forwards as much as possible. Every non-BC release will leave a set of users who are either unable or unwilling to upgrade their application to use the latest version of the framework. This leads to more effort supporting older versions of the framework, which ultimately comes off the bottom line of effort we can put in to future releases. We want you to get the most out of your existing investment in ZF, so we believe that this is the best way we can deliver value for now and for the future. Thanks! ,Wil
