Zend heeft met 1.8.2 als het versienummer een nieuwe versie van Zend Framework online gezet. Dit framework richt zich op het vergemakkelijken van het ontwerpen, het schrijven en het onderhouden van php-applicaties. Om dit mogelijk te maken zijn onder meer verschillende api's van Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Yahoo en Flickr in Zend Framework geïntegreerd. Verder bevat het programma zoekfunctionaliteit, ondersteuning voor ajax en rss- en atom-syndicatie. De bijbehorende aankondiging ziet er als volgt uit:
Zend Framework 1.8.2 Released
The Zend Framework team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the 1.8.2 release. This release is the second maintenance release in the 1.8 series. Fixes for this release focus on Zend_Db and autoloading improvements. In all, over 50 issues were closed for the release.
With the introduction of Zend_Loader_Autoloader in 1.8.0, a number of issues related to autoloading could finally be closed. All cases where Zend_Loader::loadClass() was hard-coded into the framework were modified to check for class_exists() first, to trigger the autoloader. This should make writing custom adapters and plugins an easier task.
For a full list of closed issues, you can visit:

For those that follow Zend Framework closely, the above URL should look quite new. One often requested feature for the website has been a canonical changelog for each release. The changelog for the current release may always be found at:
http://framework.zend.com/changelog
and contains a sidebar with changelogs by version. As we continue, we will also add in release notes, including migration issues.
Many thanks to all the contributors who helped with this release: issue reporters, documentation translators, and code contributors alike.
