  • In Zend Studio 10.6 you can take advantage of the new capabilities of PHP 5.5 like generators, finally keyword, new password hashing API, array and string literal dereferencing, easier class name resolution, empty() function accepting expressions and foreach loops supporting the list() construct. PHP 5.5 support includes content assist and syntax check as well as CLI script execution and built-in PHP 5.5.7 binaries.
  • Faster project processing:
  • New option to configure Library Folders will greatly improve the speed of processing your project by Zend Studio and enable you to focus more on the quality of your code. Folders containing PHP library code that is developed and deployed as part of your project but not actively maintained, can be now flagged as Library Folders. As such, they are not automatically validated together with the source code of the project, meaning that syntax errors in the code will not appear in your Problems view. As a result Problems view will only display the warnings and errors that you should really take care of - coming from your source codes! Additionally, Zend Studio automatically flags libraries installed in a Composer-enabled project's 'vendor' folder as Library Folders.
  • Improved debugging experience:
