Zend Framework 1.8 is almost ready and as such, it’s time for me to look into what it’s got.
There’s a good listing of what’s new over here and really on the surface it doesn’t look like much. But as a person who’s been using ZF for quite some time, I’m really happy to see some integrated tools for creating the application structure in a quick and easy way. As long as module creation support makes it in for 1.8, things will be great.
Aside from that, I’ll be interested in seeing what Zend_Navigation has to offer. Seeing as I’ve had numerous instances with global navigation, crumbs, module based navigation and I’ve had to create something each time – a single one-stop-shop for nav items could prove to be very useful.
Here’s lookin’ to the future.
