Slipped into today’s announcement that Zend Framework 1.10.1 was released was the news that the Zend Framework team has improved the manual. With the release of Zend Framework 1.10 and 1.10.1 the manual has added, among other things, user contributed comments similar to the PHP manual.

Rob Allen, long time Zend Framework contributor has this to say about the new additions to the manual.

“1.10 significantly improved the manual with the new Learning Zend Framework section and the addition of comments This has been due to the excellent work by ZF contributors to the project enabling the Zend team time to concentrate on documentation during the 1.10 release cycle.”

The PHP community is blessed with excellent documentation and while Zend Framework has copious documentation it has long had a reputation of being difficult to navigate. These new changes are aimed at fixing that perception.
