> * Faster and less memory intensive processing of the source code. Zend

> to 10 minutes.
> * Incremental processing; if you keep the intermediate file then parsing
> speed can decrease with another 80% (transformation speed is unchanged).
> * Full support for PHP 5.3 (also works on PHP 5.2.6+ but can't process
> 5.3 projects then).
> * An active project with a new release with new improvements every
> month.
> * Backwards compatible with phpDocumentor DocBlock syntax and forwards
> compatible with new features (i.e. @api tag support).
