Welcome to the Zend Framework 2.0.0 Release! 

RELEASE INFORMATION
---------------
Zend Framework 2.0.0dev4

THIS RELEASE IS A DEVELOPMENT RELEASE AND NOT INTENDED FOR PRODUCTION USE.
PLEASE USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

NEW FEATURES
------------

This release contains the following:

 - Dispatchable interface (Zend\Stdlib\Dispatchable) and related functionality
   (Message, Request, and Response interfaces and implementations)

 - Rewritten HTTP component
   - Rewritten URI component, with better and more extensible support for an
     array of different URI schemas, as well as more flexible path and parameter
     decomposition and serialization.

   - Adds HTTP versions of the Stdlib Request and Response interfaces, along
     with full-fledged support for standard HTTP headers

   - A rewritten HTTP client that consumes Http\Request objects and produces
     Http\Response objects.

   - Two additional HTTP client implementations that provide a convenience API
     around the base HTTP client. One is static, and allows for simple one-off
     requests:

         $response = ClientStatic::get($uri);
         $response = ClientStatic::post(
            $uri, 
            array('foo' => 'bar'), 
            array('Content-Type' => ClientStatic::ENC_URENCODED)
         );

     The other largely mimics the Zend Framework 1.X HTTP client, and proxies
     functionality to the Request object when appropriate.
