Thorsten, most of the Zend Framework integration in Studio are
value-adds over PDT, so I wouldn't be surprised if you don't find many
ZF-specific features in that project. This is a great opportunity to
tell everyone what our philosophy is regarding the relationship between
Zend Framework and Zend's commercial products. We believe what is best
for our community is also best for Zend. With that in mind, we have no
intention to release major functionality that is of use to the general
community in ZF that requires a commercial license.
Our strategy is to provide value-adds in the commercial products
themselves that make them irresistible to all you ZF developers and
deployers. J We may ship major performance enhancements that cannot be
made in the framework itself. We certainly will provide tools to easily
use ZF with our commercial products. We will provide improved interfaces
to ZF features. I could even see certain value adds that could be added
to our web properties in the future. Please note, these features will be
implemented in our products and/or web properties themselves, and are
not really ZF features as such.
A perfect example is the Zend_Tool feature. We provide all the
functionality in ZF itself. But you can count on an advanced interface
available in Zend Studio down the line (provided the community approves
of the component and it is promoted to standard library). The current
Zend Studio integration, which is very cool BTW- I use it constantly-
reflects this strategy.
Not the answer you were looking for, but maybe you'll find it
interesting anyways. J

What is planned for 1.6?]
Hi Thorsten!
I have made a few screenshots. Thats not all, but you should get a
little overview of the benefits. If you want more screenshots let me
know. I will upload them to my gallery.

I know the deadline was already, but i think it would be very
interesting for people to know that the integration with the Zend Studio
is already very good and will be much better when the Zend_Tool_* things
ready. Because i think that is a big reason for people to use a
framework - "How good is the integration in IDEs - Hos fast can we
develop with it??"
