Use INI files for Zend_Translate
Short notice:
I finished the implementation of a new adapter for Zend_Translate.
It allows you to use *.ini files as translation source within your applications.

ZF reference guide or how to use a single component
Hy interested ones,
I just added a new reference table to the documentation where people can see which ZF component depends on which other ZF component.
So if anyone is in need of just one component like Zend_Log he can just look into this table and see which other components he has also to provide that all works properly.
I hope this comes handy to people, especially to the one which declare not to have much space. :D
Related to the reference tables in general.
It would be great if anyone could update the tables (extensions) and/or test the actual content. I think the extensions section is outdated as several new components have been added and existing ones provide new features.
Maybe add a testbed for this case ? I don’t know…

Zend Translate and PHP5.2.6
Hy interested ones,
I was told that within PHP 5.2.6 the directory scanning was not working any more.
After a little research and the help from a community member we found out that within PHP 5.2.6 the return values from the SPL have been changed without any response in the documentation.
The error can only be found within the Windows release of PHP 5.2.6. When you are using a older version or a non windows version you will not see any problems.
A workaround for this PHP bug has been integrated into the trunk. So within the next release it will be fixed anyway.

New ZF Proposals accepted
Hy interested ones,
it was a long journey but after almost one year two of my proposals to the ZF were accepted by the dev team.
Proposal 1:
http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Translate_Ini+-+Thomas+Weidner
This is a new adapter for Zend_Translate.
In future you will be able to have simple INI files to be used as translation source.
Not that I think that many people will use it, but from time to time it may be comfortable to have it. And INI files can be edited by customers very easy which makes them handy.
Proposal 2:
http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_File_Transfer+-+Thomas+Weidner
For this proposal the community waited about one year.
It integrates a standard way to handle file up and downloads supports many protocols and integrate several other benefits like filtering, processing and many more.
The INI adapter is almost finished and will be available in a few days when I have time.
The file transfer component will get my complete time after the coding standard has been finished. But it will not be available until the next release because it should stay a few weeks in the incubator for problem checking, bug fixing and possible improvements.
I’ll keep you informed as soon as I have new informations.
