Code freeze for 1.5.0RC2 Tomorrow
The release-1.5 subversion branch of Zend Framework will be frozen tomorrow (at 9pm PST) in preparation for the release of the second release candidate for 1.5. The intention is to have all the new work for 1.5 completed by then. Going forward to release, only bug fixes should be necessary.
For components that are not ready for 1.5, it is intended to ship a separate incubator directory with 1.5. Depending on timescales, this may be released after the release of 1.5 though. The components in the incubator directory will include those that are not of high enough quality yet or that the proposed API hasn’t been exposed to enough developers to ensure that they provide the correct amount of flexibility vs ease-of-use.
Full information is on this thread on Nabble.

Just to clarify, Rob, we won’t ship the whole incubator with 1.5. We might ship Zend_Build and CLI tools in incubator, but as you mentioned that depends on where it’s at right now and a team discussion we’re having today. I’ll be announcing one way or the other by EOW.

Thanks Wil,
Certainly there is stuff in the trunk’s incubator that doesn’t make sense for a release. We probably need either a new name for the released “early-access” components, or tidy up the usage of incubator and make laboratory more accessible.

Rob…
