Welcome to the Zend Framework 1.12 Release! 

RELEASE INFORMATION
===================

Zend Framework 1.12.4dev Release ([INSERT REV NUM HERE]).
Released on <Month> <Day>, <Year>.

IMPORTANT FIXES FOR 1.12.3
--------------------------

This release incorporates is primarily aimed to update
Zend_Service_Twitter to the Twitter v1.1 API:

 - http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-12530

Because the Twitter v1.1 API is not backwards compatible with v1.0, the
API for Zend_Service_Twitter has been changed; if you have been using it
previously, you will need to update your code accordingly. Both the
end-user and API documentation have been updated to reflect the changes.

IMPORTANT FIXES FOR 1.12.2
--------------------------

This release incorporates over 40 bugfixes. In particular, the following
issue has been resolved in Zend_Service_Twitter:

 - http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-9253

This fix ensures that Zend_Service_Twitter uses the new versioned API 
endpoint required by Twitter.

SECURITY FIXES FOR 1.12.1
-------------------------

This release incorporates fixes for:

 - http://framework.zend.com/security/advisory/ZF2012-05

Zend_Feed_Rss and Zend_Feed_Atom were found to contain XML eXternal
Entity (XXE) Injection vectors due to insecure usage of the DOM
extension.  External entities could be specified by adding a specific
DOCTYPE element to XML-RPC requests; exploiting this vulnerability could
coerce opening arbitrary files and/or TCP connections.

A similar issue was fixed for 1.12.0, in the Zend_Feed::import() method;
however, the reporter of the issue discovered that the individual
classes contained similar functionality in their constructors which
remained vulnerable.

The patch applied removes the XXE vector by calling
libxml_disable_entity_loader() before attempting to parse the feed via
DOMDocument::loadXML().

The above patches are also available in the 1.11 series of releases.

Thanks goes to Yury Dyachenko at Positive Research Center for for
reporting the XXE vulnerability and reviewing the patches created to fix
the issue.

SECURITY FIXES FOR 1.12.0
-------------------------

This release incorporates fixes for each of:

 - http://framework.zend.com/security/advisory/ZF2012-01
 - http://framework.zend.com/security/advisory/ZF2012-02

Several components were found to be vulnerable to XML eXternal Entity
(XXE) Injection attacks due to insecure usage of the SimpleXMLElement
class (SimpleXML PHP extension).  External entities could be specified
by adding a specific DOCTYPE element to XML-RPC requests; exploiting
this vulnerability could coerce opening arbitrary files and/or TCP
connections.

Additionally, these same components were found to be vulnerable to XML
Entity Expansion (XEE) vectors. XEE attacks define custom entities
within the DOCTYPE that refer to themselves, leading to recursion; the
end result is excessive consumption of CPU and RAM, making Denial of
Service (DoS) attacks easier to implement.

Vulnerable components included:

 - Zend_Dom
 - Zend_Feed
 - Zend_Soap
 - Zend_XmlRpc

The patches applied do the following:

 - To remove XXE vectors, libxml_disable_entity_loader() is called
   before any SimpleXML calls are executed.

 - To remove XEE vectors, we loop through the DOMDocument child nodes,
   ensuring none are of type XML_DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE, and raising an
   exception if any are. If SimpleXML is used, a DOMDocument is created
   first, processed as above, and then passed to simplexml_import_dom.

The above patches are also available in the 1.11 series of releases.

Thanks goes to Johannes Greil and Kestutis Gudinavicius of SEC-Consult
for reporting the original XXE vulnerability against Zend_XmlRpc and
working with us to provide a working solution. Thanks goes to Pádraic
Brady for helping us identify other XXE vectors, as well as identifying
and patching the XEE vectors.

NEW FEATURES
============

Zend_Loader changes
-------------------

A number of autoloaders and autoloader facilities were back ported from
ZF2 to provide performant alternatives to those already available in the
1.X releases.  These include: Zend_Loader_StandardAutoloader, which
improves on Zend_Loader_Autoloader by allowing the ability to specify a
specific path to associate with a vendor prefix or namespace;
Zend_Loader_ClassMapAutoloader, which provides the ability to use lookup
tables for autoloading (which are typically the fastest possible way to
autoload); and Zend_Loader_AutoloaderFactory, which can both create and
update autoloaders for you, as well as register them with
spl_autoload_register().

The Zend_Loader changes were back ported from ZF2 by Matthew Weier
O’Phinney

Zend_EventManager
-----------------

Zend_EventManager is a component that allows you to attach and detach
listeners to named events, both on a per-instance basis as well as via
shared collections; trigger events; and interrupt execution of
listeners.

Zend_EventManager was back ported from ZF2 by Matthew Weier O’Phinney

Zend_Http_UserAgent_Features_Adapter_Browscap
---------------------------------------------

This class provides a features adapter that calls get_browser() in order
to discover mobile device capabilities to inject into UserAgent device
instances.

Browscap (http://browsers.garykeith.com/) is an open project dedicated
to collecting an disseminating a “database” of browser capabilities. PHP
has built-in support for using these files via the get_browser()
function. This function requires that your php.ini provides a browscap
entry pointing to the PHP-specific php_browscap.ini file which is
available at http://browsers.garykeith.com/stream.asp?PHP_BrowsCapINI.

Zend_Http_UserAgent_Features_Adapter_Browscap was created by Matthew
Weier O’Phinney

Zend_Mobile_Push
----------------

Zend_Mobile_Push is a component for implementing push notifications for
the 3 major push notification platforms (Apple (Apns), Google (C2dm) and
Microsoft (Mpns).

Zend_Mobile_Push was contributed by Mike Willbanks.

Zend_Gdata_Analytics
--------------------

Zend_Gdata_Analytics is an extension to Zend_Gdata to allow interaction
with Google’s Analytics Data Export API. This extension does not
encompass any major changes in the overall operation of Zend_Gdata
components.

Zend_Gdata_Analytics was contributed by Daniel Hartmann.

Removed features
================

Zend_Http_UserAgent_Features_Adapter_WurflApi
---------------------------------------------

Due to the changes in licensing of WURFL, we have removed the WurflApi
adapter. We will be providing the WurflApi adapter to ScientiaMobile so
that users of WURFL will still have that option.

Bug Fixes
=========

In addition,  over 200 reported issues in the tracker have been fixed.
We’d like to particularly thank Adam Lundrigan, Frank Brückner and
Martin Hujer for their efforts in making this happen. Thanks also to the
many people who ran the ZF1 unit tests and reported their results!
