Congratulations and thank you to the ZF team at Zend and all other
people who contributed to make this release happen. It is truly a
great ZF release!
Everybody who worked hard for this moment should take a day off and
enjoy both the release and the brand new ZF site.
After that, it's onward to 1.6! ;)
Cheers!

There are a lot of people to thank, since there are a lot of people
who
worked hard to make this happen. First of all, thanks to all the Zend
Framework contributors who helped in all kinds of ways to make this a
truly great, high-quality release. I would personally like to thank
the
Zend Framework team here at Zend for working the long hours this
weekend
to make sure everything came together on Monday morning. There were
also
some very selfless souls in marketing who stayed up late over the last
few days to make sure the site was at its best in both style and
substance for the big day. Finally we'd like to thank all the ZF users
out there who inspire us to continue improving Zend Framework and who
never fail to keep us on our toes. :) We hope this release not only
lives up to your high expectations but goes beyond them.
Now we can finally say that we wholeheartedly recommend the 1.5
release
for production use.
Enjoy ZF 1.5!
,Wil
