On behalf of the Zend Framework community, I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of Zend Framework 1.10.4, our fourth maintenance release in the 1.10 series. You can download it from our downloads page:
http://framework.zend.com/download/latest This release includes approximately 50 bugfixes, the majority of which were contributed during our Bug Hunt Days two weeks ago. The fixes contributed help stabilize and improve the 1.10 series. Three fixes in particular are worth noting: * ZF-7493: an important serialization improvement in Zend_Amf that has been benchmarked as providing 200-300% faster serialization of large datasets. * ZF-9263: a fix to Zend_Loader::isReadable() to fix a regression found on Windows platforms. This fix should eliminate most if not all raised warnings that occurred during resource and plugin loading. * ZF-9504: a patch was applied to Zend_XmlRpc_Value to make value generation more efficient. Benchmarks and profiling show enormous changes on large datasets: in one example, memory usage drops from >1GB to 20MB, while dropping from execution times of >60s to around 10s. We'd like to thank everyone who committed time, code, and translations since the 1.10.3 release -- the community has been quite productive! -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Project Lead | matt...@zend.com Zend Framework | http://framework.zend.com/ PGP key: http://framework.zend.com/zf-matthew-pgp-key.asc
