The Zend Framework team would like to thank everyone who made this release possible. As always, our generous ZF community has provided countless new features, bug fixes, documentation translations, etc. We'd also like to thank Adobe Systems and Wade Arnold for contributing the new Zend_Amf component. A big thanks to PHP Belgium and everyone who participated in bug hunt day and/or the Zend Framework bug hunt week.
Finally, we'd like to thank all of those whom we've forgotten to thank above. :) Once again, we're reminded that Zend Framework is about much more than code, it is about community. See y'all online.

Is this a performance improvement?
During our first Bughuntday we have experienced a few setbacks that prevented people fixing bugs on the spot.
At the end of BHD we've received many suggestions to improve this kind of events, which we will take into account for our future Bughuntdays.
But the audience was clear: they wanted a second BHD for Zend Framework ! So, we're looking at our schedule to plan this for 2009 and to ensure we have a good Internet connection, a local copy of the framework and more time to work on bugs.
Both phpGG and PHPBelgium want to express our gratitude for all the people from the Zend Framework Team who made this event possible and we're looking forward organizing the next ZF BHD !
Yours truly,
Michelangelo van Dam

I'm trying to make it work since last week but without results, documentation about this issue doesn't help.
Maybe I missed it ?
All the new features are great for hobbyists, but the general flakiness of ZF is now removing it from consideration in any serious commercial development.
This saddens me. ZF could be so good if someone would just fix the damn bugs.
