Zend Framework 2.0 branched

With the release of Zend Framework 1.10.2, Matthew Weier O’Phinney announced the kick-off of Zend Framework 2.0 development:

we have branched for development of Zend Framework 2.0 this afternoon. Currently, the branch is intended for development of low-level infrastructure, and we ask that developers have patience; we may be reverting changes frequently as we experiment with some new approaches. I would actually recommend not tracking the branch for a few weeks

The first items to be looked at are:

  • Stripping require_once calls
  • Updating the test suite:
    • Removing the AllTests suites (no longer necessary)
    • Usage of TestHelper.php as a PHPUnit bootstrap
  • Conversion to namespaces. This will be automated at first, but will then shift to manual changes
  • Testing of alternate plugin systems. (To make more explicit for performance and understandability)

Exciting times are upon us!

    thank god! I recently tried to update to 1.10 and my scripts started running out of memory, so I reverted back to 1.9.6.

    I tried stripping out the require_once calls myself via cmd, but that just triggered an out of memory error with the zend loader.

    will be nice to overhaul the mvc, it seems a bit heavy handed for just getting pretty urls.
