Hi, this is Bill Karwin, Product Engineering Manager for the Zend Framework.
As I write this I am deploying Zend Framework Preview Release 0.7.0 to
http://framework.zend.com/This preview release is the result of a great effort from our Zend
Framework community developers to create advanced PHP classes for
internationalizing applications. The Zend_Locale, Zend_Date,
Zend_Measure, and Zend_Translate classes enable you to bring your PHP
project to a global audience by handling text, dates, and messages with
best-practices methods, using an easy objected-oriented interface that
is characteristic of Zend Framework components.
Many thanks especially to community developers Thomas Weidner, Andries
Seutens, and Ahmed Shreef, and Zend developers Gavin Vess and Alexander
Veremyev and for their efforts to finish a lot of great code, tests, and
documentation in a short time.
Zend Framework Preview Release 0.7.0 includes many significant features
and enhancements:
- Locale-management component
- Locale-aware Date parsing and formatting class
- New translation-management component with gettext support
- Comprehensive class for working with measurements and conversions
- New prototype class for filtering and validation parameters
- New class for managing memory usage in PHP applications
- Many other improvements in current components such as MVC, Session,
Gdata, HTTP Client, Search, XmlRpc, and others
- Many other enhancements to test suites and documentation.

Framework 0.8.
Best regards,
