Real close now

Zend Framework is getting real close now to its official release. Bill Karwin just announced a 0.9.2 version, and states we may have one more interim version before we get to release candidate 1. Go to framework.zend.com to see more about the project, including all the detail on the components, the documentation and more. There is also a mail list that makes interesting reading. Here is an exchange from today that shows how folks feel about the progress:

Subject: Re: [fw-general] Zend Framework 0.9.2 release plan
I too would like to say thank you to all of you who have put in effort to make the framework into what it is today. I don't know if this is the right place for praise, but I really enjoy coding using the framework as my base. Things that used to take me hours of hacking, googleing and trial-and-error just work for me now, with zfw's consistent and easy to understand components. Thank you, all of you.
