Recently zk 3.6.0 has been released - there are couple of new features, for a detailed feature description refer to the feature list.
By the way, zk now provides a WYSIWIG editor, which can be easily installed as Eclipse plugin. So you can drag and drop your GUI without switching to your browser and hitting continously F5.
One more point we would like to mention: zk framework is growing rapidly! Some time has passed since we downloaded the last release, but as we took a quick look into the zk explorer we were really surprised about the number of new components. Check out the zk explorer it will give you a clue on what we are talking about...! We will keep focused closely on zk, as from our impression zk is (becoming) one of the leading enterprise Ajax frameworks. If you did not evaluate zk for now, you should give it a try in order to move away from clumsy JavaScript coding with simple Ajax frameworks...
