The Zend Framework team announces the immediate availability of Zend Framework 1.10.7, our seventh maintenance release in the 1.10 series. This release includes around 60 bug fixes.

For those uses of Zend_Service_Twitter, please ensure you upgrade to 1.10.6 or 1.10.7 ASAP. These releases introduce a change in the Zend_Service_TWitter API that enforces the use of OAuth by default when using methods that require authentication. The change was introduced to help prepare Zend Framework users for the Twitter OAuthcalypse in mid-August. (If you cannot upgrade, there are other ways to integrate Zend_Oauth with Zend_Service_Twitter.)

You may download ZF 1.10.7 from the Zend Framework site.

I'd like to thank everyone who contributed code to these releases, including those who submitted patches, translated documentation, or reported issues. Keep your eyes peeled for another maintenance release at the end of next month!

1.11.0 Release Planned

In related news, we are planning a 1.11.0 release for the end of September. This will incorporate bugfixes from the 1.10 series, updates and normalization to validator translation strings, and a variety of new features.

If you have an existing component proposal you would like considered for 1.11.0, please be aware that you will also be required to port it to ZF 2.0; if that does not deter you, please create a proposal ASAP and contact the Community Review Team.

Zend Framework 2.0 Status

We are actively working on ZF 2.0 at this time, and closing in on our first development milestone. In this milestone, we are completing the following tasks:

  • Stripping require_once calls from the entire codebase
  • Refactoring the test suite to use native PHPUnit facilities instead of our hand-written test suites
  • Migration to PHP 5.3 namespaces

Once ready, we plan to release a tarball of this milestone, as well as a roadmap showing upcoming milestones on the ZF2 roadmap. Keep tuned for more information in the next couple weeks!
