Code Freeze for ZF 1.0.0 RC4 / GA

[Bill Karwin from Zend]

Hi all,

We are planning to call a code-freeze tomorrow, Friday 6/29 at 4:00pm
PDT (midnight GMT).  This release will be tagged "1.0.0".  

Please click on C:\Windows\Media\tada.wav now. :-)

Thanks to the efforts of dozens of developers for many months, we are
here.  This isn't the end of the game for Zend Framework, but it is the
beginning of a new phase of development and maturity.

After I update the downloads for this release tomorrow evening, I'll
email out to ask you to download it and try it.  We know there are still
47 open bugs in Zend Framework (all other open issues are feature
requests, etc.) but there are none severe enough to delay the release.
They will be fixed in 1.0.1 or subsequent releases.

Regards,
Bill Karwin

Gratz,
the feature request for next releases is: less typing ^^

CONGRATS!!

 

I'm couldn't afford to be a code contributor to the framework but just pointed out a few bugs and suggested some enhancements. It's great to see the framework come a long way and to be invoved in its evolvution as it matured into 1.0.0 induces a sentimental attachment to it. Yes, it's a high-quality framework with decoupled components and does the heavy-lifting. A great design and a great job from you all and keep up the good work...

 

Zend Framework is a - magic! And, it rocks!!

 

Regards,

It is exciting even if the  
Zend_Coding_Made_So_Easy_I_Cant_Believe_Its_Not_Butter class will have to
wait until version 1.1. Has there been any news on that one?

For me, the MVC code is the single most toughest thing to grip on. I find the
general library so damn easy it's a delight.

Perhaps the MVC will in fact going to become the jewel in the crown for ZF in
time  with careful maturation. I love the importance given to decoupling and
the release that this gives me from that  "lock in feeling" experienced on so
many otherwise worthy frameworks elsewhere. As I experience it, ZF is truly a
library first that almost magically  forms an elegant  framework by innate
design.

Surely the big trick to the MVC should be conventions? You want flexibility?
It's there. You want to see MVC intelligence, follow the conventions and it
will do the heavy lifting for you. I think the growth in default conventions
within the MVC is crucial to keeping it user friendly for noobs like me. I'm
particularly lookiing forward to the View side to developing more and a
universal "Zend Framework Official Demo" steadily refocusing on best
practices and real world concerns.

Thank you for ZF. I'm still a noob but  hope to contirbute.

Regards,
Mark Maynereid

LOL!  We decided to rename that class Zend_DoWhatIMean.

Actually, it's Zend_DoWhatIMean_Abstract.  Users are encouraged to
extend the class to... you know... do what they mean.

To Bill and the rest of ZF team,



Congrats on reaching this milestone! Thanks for all your hard work the past few months...truly a team effort!

Special thanks to Matthew for all the time and effort he put into not just MVC, but also the countless replies he gave us on our questions...

Now let's start on those >1.0.0 proposals and features shall we

Regards, Taco (Codiac).

Hi,

"Félicatations !!"

Thanks to all the community and developers for this good work !!
I'm just impatient to have a real feature for "Layout" like (View Enhanced /
Zend Layout), something like we can found in in symfony.
I'll wait future release with this feature to adopt the ZF for real
projects.

Regards,
Fabien
