Some of the “minor” changes and updates:

• Eclipse 3.4 Support. This Inlcudes many Bug Fixes and enhancements.
• Improved SQL Query Builder
• Improved Stability and Bug Fixes. I personally hope the annoying Build Errors when opening a project are fixed.
• Web Tools Platform is updated. This provides for example to jump to the matching html bracket

PHP and Zend Framework IDE

One of the bigger changes is that the Zend Studio now has a real good JavaScript Support coming with the Web Tools Platform 3 Release and the improved Zend Framework Support with Dull Dojo editing Support.

As expected the Zend Framework support gets some improvements:

• Dojo support. You can add Dojo to your Projects and you you have full Dojo editing support.
  • But you can add all JavaScript Librarys you want.
• Zend Controller Test Case Support. This helps writing easy Unit Testing of your Controllers.
• Zend Action Helper Wizard. Easy Creation of Action Helpers.
• all changes in Detail of the Zend Studio for Eclipse 6.1 here

I think the Zend Framework support is really great.

You can create a new Zend Framework Project. It creates the default Directory Layout for a MVC Application with a default module, IndexController, Views and also the tests Directory with an Sample Testcase for this Controller. Since the Zend Studio for Eclipse has PHPUnit Support you can easily start the Tests and you get the Statistics like Code Coverage and so on.

In the Views you get the Code Assist with all available View Helpers.

Something i am really looking forward is the Zend_Tool Proposal in the Zend Framework. I think (and hope i am right) you able then to create your own specialised Project Directory Layout and create a Manifest File (a XML File) for this. Then in the Zend Studio for Eclipse you create a Specialised Zend Framework Project and provide your Manifest.xml File on Creation. The ZSfE then knows your Directory Layout and you have the same Code Assist Features as you would have created a default Zend Framework Project. One of the goals is also to provide a RPC API for other IDEs. But the Zend_Tool Proposal will provide more than just this. Read more on the Zend_Tool Proposal Page.

Unit Testing Harness for Controllers

This aims to simplify testing MVC applications by providing tools to allow assertions against the DOM structure of your response, specialized request/response objects that mimic the HTTP environment and also prevent spurious headers and content from being generated, and more. For the detailed API take a look at:

Preview of Tooling Project

One of the goals of this Tooling Project is to provide tools to simplify the creation, alteration, etc of a Zend Framework Project via different Endpoints. This Endpoints could be the CLI or an IDE like the Eclipse PDT, Zend Studio for Eclipse or also TextMate vie XML-RPC.  Here is a full list if goals (copied from the Proposals Page):

• Ability to issue “tooling system” requests via the command line to facilitate:
  • rapid application development of php based applications
  • jump starting application structures with include the creation and alteration of
    • directories
    • files (classes, html, view scripts, etc.)
    • database schemas
    • config files
    • xml files
    • wsdl generation
    • etc.
• Ability of the “tooling system” to describe its full set of capabilities
• Ability to issue “tooling system” requests from multiple clients to interact with this “tooling system”
  • Zend Studio
  • Command Line
  • Other IDE (example: textmate via perhaps XML-RPC)
• Ability to extend the “tooling system” as simply as creating a php class.
• Ability to attach metadata to “tooling capabilities (provider)” and/or arbitrary “tooling” data to the system
• Ability for this “tooling system” to be bootstrapped automatically by detecting “capabilities” inside the php include-path.
• Ability to customize and use a “project profiling” system to facilitate:
  • defining project structures to be used in rapid application development
  • ability to serialize a “live” project profile inside a project
  • ability to keep project “artifacts” and the project profile in synchronization
• Ability to construct php based files, classes, methods, properties via an OO interface
• Ability to deconstruct and alter the contents of existing PHP files and classes

Zend_Wildfire Component with FireBug Log Writer

This one is yet not really well known but the project sound really interesting and helpful for development. Read the goals of WildFire Project on http://www.wildfirehq.org/

One Implementation of this is FirePHP which is a extension for the well known FireBug Plugin for Firefox. FirePHP allows to log /write to the FireBug Console. This is done via HTTP Response Headers (X-FirePHP-Data). This means that the debugging data will not interfere with the content on your page. Thus FirePHP is ideally suited for AJAX development where clean JSON or XML responses are required.

This is the full list of new Features in Zend Framework 1.6:

• Lucene 2.3 Index File Format Support
• Zend_Session save handler for Database Tables
• Paginator Component
• Text/Figlet Support
• ReCaptcha Service
• Captcha Form Element
• Zend_Config_Xml Attribute Support
• Zend_File_Transfer Component
• File Upload Form Element
• Media View Helpers (Flash, Quicktime, Object, and Page)
• Support in Zend_Translate for INI File Format
