Announcing the Zend Framework 3 Roadmap

The Zend Framework team has announced a high-level overview of their plans for Zend Framework 3 today. The plans include:

• Separating components into individual, versioned projects.
• Updating the existing full-stack MVC framework to depend on the newly independent components for better reuse and simplicity. ZF2 MVC applications will have a documented upgrade path to ZF3 requiring minimal changes.
• Embracing middleware runtime patterns as a lighter weight *alternative* to the enterprise MVC framework stack.
• Enabling Apigility to work as a middleware stack, for better performance and simplicity, with the same streamlined, powerful user experience.
• Optimizing for PHP 7, but supporting PHP 5.5 onwards.
