| Zend FW 1.7.4 to 1.9.0 Migration notes by Tuomas Valtanen |

No changes on the DB side, you can use the old SQL schemas. Repository folder for the migrated version in our SVN is /site/branches/alpha_3.0

1. Bootstrapping is now object -based, you should get a pretty good picture of it when you just look at the file. Zend FW no longer accepts procedural bootstrapping, which is only a good thing.

2. Custom routes are now in application/config/routes.ini. The syntax is fairly straightforward, should not be a pain to anybody.

3. The url helper should now work pretty much okay. Please create urls only by using the helper, if realistically possible. It's not very dynamic to use static urls in your redirect- and flash-function calls. :)

4. THE NAMING POLICY. Since Zend FW 1.8.0, the naming convention is stricter. This is because of the way more strict namespace. Custom libraries need to be declared in the configuration file, if such libraries are to be used. All models and form classes need to be named as:

   Module_Model_Name Module_Form_Name

   For example:

   Default_Model_User Default_Form_LoginUser

   I have no idea if this default-naming can be overdriven, but I don't see any reason for that, so I suggest we stick to this default one.

5. Last but not least. I did this migration in less than 3 days, so there might some mistakes in the migrated code, I'm just a human being. :) Just let me know, and I'll take a look at it. Also, test the code actively and when we have killed all bugs, we can start developing on this new version of Zend Framework.

Alright, these are the main points that came into my mind while doing the migration. If you have any specific questions, just ask in the forums or come chat with me on #dev.oibs in freenode.net.

See ya!
