Zend Framework 1.6 RC1

Hy fellows,

a new version of Zend Framework will be released on Monday 21.July.2008.
It\’s the release canidate for 1.6. Even if it\’s until now not finished for public release, a release canidate can contain minor problems, it contains some new components and, of course, a huge amount of bugfixes and improvements.

My additions to this release are:
Zend_Transfer_Adapter_Ini: A adapter for using ini files for translations
Zend_File_Transfer: A component which handles file uploads and downloads for multiple transfer protocols.

Of course also a number of bugs and other small improvments to existing I18N components have been integrated.

Zend_File_Transfer is far away from being finished. But the ZF-devteam has decided that it should be integrated with 1.6. Actually it will support only the HTTP POST protocol. But it’s easy to use and it comes also with some validators especially created for file validation. As this component is not completly ready for now, it will additionally get an Zend_Form_Element_File which consumes this component, the decission has been made to delay it’s integration until RC2.

Yes, this are the bad news… we will have a RC2 anyway.
But the good news are, that we have some additionally days to fix some other issues.

Greetings
Thomas, I18N Team Leader, Zend Framework

    Hmm, “release candidate” implies something that should be fit for release when there are no problems - how can it be if not all features are in? Ah well, I’m a terminology-nazi, as always…

    You mean Zend_Translate_Adapter_Ini, I assume? ;)

    Zend_Translate_Adapter_Ini is included in RC1
    Zend_File_Transfer will be included in RC2

    It’s the dev-team’s decission, not mine :-)
