> Other prominent changes include:
>
>   * Zend_Loader::registerAutoload() now proxies to
>     Zend_Loader_Autoloader, and marks the instance as a fallback
>     autoloader. This will ensure equivalent functionality, and reduces
>     the number of deprecation notices emitted to one.
>
>   * Many bugfixes and improvements to Zend_Application.
>  
>   * Addition of module generation capabilities to Zend_Tool
>
>   * Addition of strong object typing capabilities to Zend_Amf
>
>   * Many more manual translations!
