We are excited to announce that the Zend Framework 1.7 Preview Release is now available from the Zend Framework download site!
While 1.7PR is not a feature complete release in the 1.7 series, it nevertheless contains some very important features scheduled for the 1.7 production release:
- New Zend_AMF component
- Dojo Toolkit 1.2.0
- New ZendX_JQuery component
- Support for dijit editor
- Metadata API in Zend_Cache
- Google book search API
- Performance enhancements
- Application-wide locale with other i18n enhancements
- File upload form element enhancements
This obviously marks a very important step towards a high-quality, well tested 1.7 production release. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release in any way: with patches/check ins, documentation/translations, and bug reports.
But our work is not yet over! Let's put this release through testing hell, while continuing to make progress on other features scheduled for the production release of 1.7. Please remember to provide feedback on our issue tracker and ask any questions/post your experiences on the appropriate mailing list.
Again, the Zend Framework community does NOT recommend this release for production use. We do, however, recommend evaluating new features in this release with existing and new applications.

I looking forward next release... Jitka
(1) As far as I know, there's no roadmap for future releases, either in terms of dates or added features. Is this still correct?
(2) What about support of past releases of ZF? Should developers expect an extremely long support cycle, as seen in PHP 4?
Nice, I've read about the performance degradation in last releases. So I am curious now what has been optimized, and if there is still more room for improvements. :-)
Thanks!
Congratulations...
But, Where i can read further details about the performance improvements and the other details
Cheers
Update queries like UPDATE table SET integerfield = integerfield + $addValue is not possible using $db->update() either.
Would love to see improvements Zend DB.
or
$db->update($tablename, array('integerfield' => new Zend_Db_Expr("integerfield + $addValue")), $where);
I discovered ZF somewhere around 1.5 and it is really been a great ride so far. I've even gone as far as to pick up Zend Studio for the integration aspects.
That being said we are building our largest project yet in ZF so I am very interested in the performance improvements in 1.7...
I see a few other people have asked about this, so I am just throwing my hand up also.
I'd love to hear about that and about the time frame for 1.7
Thanks for all the fun (with a minimal amount of pain)
Are you planing to add that the Zend controller can be use in a subfolder of the document root ?
Document Root/
Project/
application
/config
/controllers
/forms
/layouts
/scripts
/models
/views
/cripts
/data
library
/Zend --> Framework
At this time the documentation only help to put the project in the root of document root.
If this can be do at this time can you put same help in the docs ?
At the moment I'm working with it for the subject of my bachelor thesis.
Like some people writing before me I'm very interested in the performance improvements. Where can we get infos?
So same question here, which parts were optimized and how ?
