The Zend Framework 1.8 Preview Release is now available for testing! This latest release includes a new CLI for creating your initial project structure, adding resources to your project so no more rails envy:

$ zf create project theNewProject

This will create the initial project layout with directories, controllers and all. Brilliant.

The new Zend_Application has been added to handle the task of bootstrapping your application and other cool stuff, one of the most important features is the new way that modules are treated in Zend_Application which should help keep your application DRYer than ever.
