The Zend Framework team is excited to announce a partnership between Dojo and Zend Framework. The goal is to deliver an out-of-the-box solution for building Ajax-based Web applications with Zend Framework. This is mainly targeted at users who rely on us to provide them with a best practice and an out-of-the-box experience for Ajax and don’t want to have to deal with evaluating a solution (e.g. toolkits, licenses, etc.).

To see full announcement text please refer to Zend devzone

I’ve been disappointed (as many other people - see comments after announcement on zend page) about Dojo choosing (why not Jquery or Prototype or ExtJS or …. ?), because Dojo sometimes breaks up xhtml doctypes and not so popular as Jquery. ZF team provides their comments today, you can review it in “ZEND FRAMEWORK TEAM RESPONSE” comment

We are very happy to announce the latest release of the best and most popular framework for web development. The release marks a great milestone for CakePHP, where we involved more developers, implemented better code coverage (with analysis!), received more contributions from more community members, and ended up with a stable and feature rich 1.2 release candidate.

I got the following error when trying to run “symfony propel-build-model“.

BUILD FAILED
Can’t load default task list
Total time: 0.0008 seconds
ERROR: symfony - Can’t load default task list

I’ve using PEAR install, symfony version is 1.0.13 running under PHP 5.2.5 (Windows XP), phing version is 2.3.0.

To solve this problem you should replace your Win32FileSystem.php in your php/pear/symfony/vendors/phing/system/io with Win32FileSystem.php from php/pear/phing/system/io, because this file is outdated in symfony phing version and contains invalid return value in resolveFile function.

Hope, this will help someone.

Yesterday, 17 of March 2008 Zend Framework 1.5 released.

Also Zend guys opened a new Zend Framework subscription support service - it includes consulting time for inquiries related to methodology, and a guaranteed per-incident response time for addressing issues related to Zend Framework project code.

More about support service you can find here.

The most interesting things about new release:

1. It will be included in new Ubuntu version that will be released in April 2008.
2. It now supports OpenID and Microsoft’s InfoCard.
