Welcome to the Zend Framework 2.0.0 Release!

Master:

RELEASE INFORMATION

Zend Framework 2.0.0rc6

This is the fifth release candidate for 2.0.0. We will be releasing RCs on a weekly basis until we feel all critical issues are addressed. At this time, we anticipate few API changes before the stable release, and recommend testing your production applications against it.

XX August 2012

UPDATES IN RC6

• Zend\Db

  • ResultInterface adds isBuffered() method for checking if the resultset is buffered or not. Allows for more fine grained control of result set buffering, including using the database engine's native buffering.

• Zend\Form

  • You can now omit error messages on elements when rendering via formRow(), by passing a boolean false as the third argument of the helper.

• Zend\Mvc

  • Application no longer defines the "application" identifier for its composed EventManager instance. If you had listeners listening on that context, update them to use "Zend\Mvc\Application". See this thread for more details:

• Zend\Paginator

  • Removes the factory() and related methods. This was done to be more consistent with other components, and also because the utility was not terribly useful; in most cases, developers needed to configure the adapter up-front anyways.

• Zend\Stdlib

  • ClassMethods Hydrator now supports boolean getters prefixed with "is"

More than XX pull requests for a variety of features and bugfixes were handled since RC5, as well as around XX documentation changes!
