In a new post to his site Matthew Weier O'Phinney has announced the release of Expressive v1.0 from Zend. The Expressive framework is PSR-7 based with a heavy emphasis on middleware and the reuse of other components to make a basic framework structure.

A few hours ago, we pushed Expressive 1.0.

This is a huge milestone for the ZF3 initiative; I've even called it the cornerstone. It signals a huge shift in direction for the project, returning to its roots as a component library. Expressive itself, however, also signals the future of PHP applications we envision: composed of layered, single-purpose PSR-7 middleware.

He also links to this post on the Zend Framework blog with more information about the release including what's new in 1.0.0 (hint: not much) and what you can look forward to in the future from the framework. He mentions some of the other PSR-7 frameworks out in the PHP ecosystem right now and some of the reasoning behind the project being created in the first place. He also talks some about how it was started and some of the feedback/contributions they've received since then.
