Plans for ZF 1.5

Darby has posted to the Zend Framework mailing list that plans are now in place for the first preview release of the next significant version of Zend Framework, version 1.5.

The code freeze will be Tuesday 22nd January at 9pm (PST), from which point changes to Zend Framework code will be carefully managed to focus on the 1.5 release.

In a followup post, Matthew rather helpfully posted a list of key new or improved components that will be included in 1.5. It was off the top of his head, so may miss some stuff out:

Okay, off the top of my head, new and/or improved components include: * Zend_Auth_Adapter_Ldap * Zend_Build/Zend_Console * Zend_Controller additional action helpers * ContextSwitch and AjaxContext * Json * AutoComplete * Zend_Form * Zend_InfoCard * Zend_Layout * Zend_OpenId * Zend_Search_Lucene improvements and bugfixes * Zend_View enhancements: * actions * partials * placeholders * New Zend_Service consumables (not sure which ones will be final) I’m sure there’s more, but, as I said, that’s off the top of my head. A good place to look is on the wiki proposals page (look at what’s currently in the incubator, and see what core proposals may be present that you haven’t seen before), and also in the issue tracker.

Wil also mentioned the All 1.5 Issues filter on the issue tracker which provides details about all the little changes that are going into this release.

    Hello!

    Will your book cover this version? I think it is very very important to cover the new console features with best practice examples as well as placeholders and AutoComplete.

    Thanks.

    Hi Tronics,

    It will certainly be covering Zend_Form, Zend_Layout, placeholders and the other new View helpers. I’m not sure about Zend_Build yet.

    Regards,

    Rob…
