The Zend Framework team announces the immediate availability of a preview
release of version 1.9.0:
http://framework.zend.com/download/latest
Note that because these packages are <em>not</em> stable, they will not be
found on the zend.com CDN; please scroll to the bottom of the above page to
find links to this release.
This preview release showcases many of the new features that will be
available in the upcoming stable release:
* Zend_Rest_Route, Zend_Rest_Controller, and
Zend_Controller_Plugin_PutHandler, which aid in providing RESTful
resources via the MVC layer.
* Zend_Feed_Reader, which provides a common API to RSS and Atom feeds,
as well as extensions to each format, caching, and a slew of other
functionality.
* Zend_Queue and Zend_Service_Amazon_Sqs, which provide the ability to
use local and remote messaging and queue services for offloading
asynchronous processes.
* Zend_Db_Table updates to allow using Zend_Db_Table as a concrete
class by passing it one or more table definitions via the
constructor.
* Annotation processing support for Zend_Pdf, as well as performance
improvements.
* Zend_Dojo custom build layer support.
* Numerous Zend_Ldap improvements.
* Zend_Log_Writer_Syslog, a Zend_Log writer for writing to your system
log.
* Several new view helpers, including Zend_View_Helper_BaseUrl.
The 1.9.0 release is shaping up quickly, and we expect to launch a beta
late next week, with a stable release a week or so later.
Again, this is a preview release; do not use it in production
environments. Do, however, test it thoroughly and let us know what is
and is not working for you so we can deliver a solid release with 1.9.0!
