Almost a month has passed since our alpha release of 1.10.0, but the
activity on the Zend Framework trunk has done anything but slow down. A
number of contributors have completed features that were only
near-completion during the alpha, and others have undergone further
community review to add a bit of polish to their APIs.
At this time, I'm happy to announce a BETA release of 1.10.0.
http://framework.zend.com/download/latest
Please note that the alpha is only available on the ZF site, not from
the zend.com CDN.
Beta means that the release is considered feature-complete, and that any
new APIs added are now considered final. In this release you'll find the
following new features:
* Zend_Barcode, contributed by Mickael Perraud
* Zend_Cache_Backend_Static, contributed by Pádraic Brady
* Zend_Cache_Manager, contributed by Pádraic Brady
* Zend_Exception - previous exception support, contributed by Marc
Bennewitz
* Zend_Feed_Pubsubhubbub, contributed by Pádraic Brady
* Zend_Feed_Writer, contributed by Pádraic Brady
* Zend_Filter_Boolean, contributed by Thomas Weidner
* Zend_Filter_Compress/Decompress, contributed by Thomas Weidner
* Zend_Filter_Null, contributed by Thomas Weidner
* Zend_Log::factory(), contributed by Mark van der Velden and Martin
Roest (of ibuildings)
* Zend_Log_Writer_ZendMonitor, contributed by Matthew Weier O'Phinney
* Zend_Markup, contributed by Pieter Kokx
* Zend_Oauth, contributed by Pádraic Brady
* Zend_Serializer, contributed by Marc Bennewitz
* Zend_Service_DeveloperGarden, contributed by Marco Kaiser
* Zend_Service_LiveDocx, contributed by Jonathan Marron
* Zend_Service_WindowsAzure, contributed by Maarten Balliauw
* Zend_Validate_Barcode, contributed by Thomas Weidner
* Zend_Validate_Callback, contributed by Thomas Weidner
* Zend_Validate_CreditCard, contributed by Thomas Weidner
* Zend_Validate_PostCode, contributed by Thomas Weidner
* Additions to Zend_Application resources, including Cachemanager,
Dojo, Jquery, Layout, Log, Mail, and Multidb (contributed primarily
by Dolf Schimmel)
* Refactoring of Zend_Loader::loadClass() to conform to the PHP
Framework Interop Group reference implementation, which allows for
autoloading PHP 5.3 namespaced code
* Updated Dojo version to 1.4
In addition, Zend_Tool has had undergone a ton of refactoring to
eliminate issues and bottlenecks, as well as to add a number of new
features:
* New CLI runner with home directory and configuration support
* New providers for Model generation, DbAdapter setup, Layouts and Form
Generation
* Default project structure comes with logging support in the
ErrorController
This is a BETA release, and should by no means be used in production.
While the feature-set and API is complete, there may be a number of
issues that still need to be addressed before the final release. As
such, we do ask you to test your applications against the beta, and
provide us feedback via the issue tracker so that we can have a solid
and stable release.
Our tentative release schedule is:
* 1.10.0rc1: Wednesday, 20 January 2010
* 1.10.0: Tuesday, 26 January 2010
I'd like to extend a hearty congratulations to all contributors, who
have worked tirelessly over the past few weeks to finalize and test new
features; the release could not have happened without their efforts!
