Zend is pleased to announce the release of Zend Studio 9.0.0!

This release contains improvements, new features, bug fixes and optimizations.
Using a new set of features, developers can now easily connect to version 
control repositories such as git, GitHub, Subversion and then launch Web
applications locally or on remote Zend Server targets.
Zend Studio 9.0 is faster, leaner, and lets you tune your IDE to your needs 
thanks to new smart product configuration.

In more details:
 * Zend Studio 9.0 makes it easier than ever to bootstrap a project and create 
   high-quality code:
   - Use Git and GitHub directly from within Zend Studio ("join the distributed 
     version control revolution!")
   - Benefit from the many JavaScript, CSS3, and HTML5 editor improvements in 
     Eclipse 3.7.1
   - Debug smarter and more efficiently 
 * With Zend Studio 9.0, you can develop and deploy in the Cloud:

     PHP environment that delivers superior debugging, increased productivity and 
     collaboration in the Cloud
   - Create and test deployment packages for reliable and consistent deployment 
     to a number of Zend Application Fabric-enabled Clouds (RightScale, Amazon 
     CloudFormation, IBM SmartCloud) as well as to on-premise Zend Server
   - Use the built-in Amazon Web Services toolkit for increased productivity 
     in developing Web applications that leverage services like Amazon EC2 and 
     S3
 * With Zend Studio 9.0, you can develop faster and easier 
    thanks to new smart product configuration:
   - 67% faster default startup
