The Zend Framework community has released the 0.2.0 Preview Release. This release contains many important enhancements and new features:
- New MVC implementation
- New HTTP request and response objects make it easy to automate unit testing for web apps without a web server, and also make it possible to use MVC for command-line and PHP-GTK application development
- Enhanced pure PHP Lucene-compatible search engine component
- New Mysqli DB adapter
- New JSON server
- New REST client and server
- New XmlRpc client and server
- New Acl component
- New Session component
- New Web Services clients for Delicious and Audioscrobbler
- New Registry component
- Significant improvements to many other components
In addition Zend has released Google Data Client Library Preview Release 0.2.0. Google Data Client Library is a PHP 5 component that enables PHP applications to run queries and commands against Google Data web sevices. For examples, Google Base, Calendar, Blogger, and CodeSearch. Certainly a new experience since it have been released separately from the Zend Framework, or maybe to get noticed ?
