Zend Framework 1.5.1

March 27th, 2008 Reto Kiefer Leave a comment Go to comments

Auch beim Zend Framework schafft die PHP Fraktion die gewohnte (fehlende) Releasequalität.

Wie schon bei diversen PHP Releases, hatte das Major Release 1.5 des Frameworks keine Woche Bestand, schon wurde eilig und heimlich die Version 1.5.1 nachgeschoben.

Es ist echt nervend und die Frage stellt sich immer wieder neu, warum der Release-Prozess in der PHP-Szene und damit assoziierten Firmen, eher suboptimal ist. Fehler können sich immer einschleichen, aber die Regelmäßigkeit mit denen das im Kontext PHP passiert ist schon bedauerlich.

Aber, es kann ja nur besser werden … :o )

    Also, dass ist nicht was wir beabsichtigt hab. Hast du den den Announcment schon gelesen. Hier steht es nochmal:

    As the first mini release for the 1.5.0 branch, 1.5.1 has the first shot at addressing any issues with new features released in 1.5. While there have been no major issues discovered in 1.5, the Zend Framework team considers following a major or significant minor release with a mini release quickly a best practice. With this mini release we address most pain points discovered in the first few days of the 1.5.0 production release.

    Es tut mir Leid, mein Deutch ist schon lange Schlect geworden.

    Wil,

    thanks for the update, I didn’t read the announcement.

    If this is best practice I will consider it in the future and wait for the mini relaese after the major releasse, before updating my installations.

    Thanks for the insight!

    Cheers

    Well, this is one of my personal ‘best practices’. :) I’ve found that every new major release which introduces a lot of new features inevitably introduces pain points- even the highest quality releases experience this when the user base expands from 10′s to 1000′s. By rolling the fixes for the most painful points within a few days we can reduce the overall pain by at least 80%.
    Our collective best practice is to release early and often and to always listen to our users and respond quickly. You should be able to use x.x.0 releases for development- it has been thoroughly tested for production use with our release candidate process- or if you feel more comfortable picking up the first mini release, I certainly understand. I myself refuse to install a new version of Windows until SP1 comes out. ;)
