The Zend Framework team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the 1.9.6 release. This release is the sixth maintenance release in the 1.9 series, and includes more than 60 bugfixes, most of them from this month's bug hunt days, held last Thursday and Friday.

You may download it from the Zend Framework site.

This will likely be the last release in the 1.9 series, as we start gearing up for 1.10.0; keep posted for developments along that front in the coming weeks.

I'd like to thank everyone who participated in this month's Bug Hunt Days (our third such event), as well as those contributors who pitched in throughout the month to resolve issues, translate documentation, and more.
