The issue tracker is the changelog. :) In this particular case, the performance enhancements were made to the PluginLoader, which is used in a variety of places in the framework. Basically, we were looping over paths manually and checking if a file was readable; this becomes slower and slower the more paths that need to be traversed to find the correct file. Ironically, there's an option in loadFile() that allows you to pass a set of directories to loop over; directory iteration is done by resetting the include_path briefly and using fopen(), which has an argument for searching the include_path -- which is many times faster than manually doing it. The net gain is around 12.5% in a real-world application (i.e., 1/8 increase), but could vary based on the requirements of your application. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Software Architect | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Zend Framework | http://framework.zend.com/
