Release zend-mvc 2.7.0 · zendframework/zend-mvc

Added

#31 adds three new optional arguments to the Zend\Mvc\Application constructor: an EventManager instance, a Request instance, and a Response instance.
#36 adds more than a dozen service factories, primarily to separate conditional factories into discrete factories.
#32 adds Zend\Mvc\MiddlewareListener, which allows dispatching PSR-7-based middleware implementing the signature function (ServerRequestInterface $request, ResponseInterface $response). To dispatch such middleware, point the middleware "default" for a given route to a service name or callable that will resolve to the middleware:
```
[ 'router' => 'routes' => [
    'path' => [
        'type' => 'Literal',
        'options' => [
            'route' => '/path',
            'defaults' => [
                'middleware' => 'ServiceNameForPathMiddleware',
            ],
        ],
    ],
]
```
This new listener listens at the same priority as the DispatchListener, but, due to being registered earlier, will invoke first; if the route match does not resolve to middleware, it will fall through to the original DispatchListener, allowing normal ZF2-style controller dispatch.
#84 publishes the documentation to https://zendframework.github.io/zend-mvc/

Two initializers registered by Zend\Mvc\Service\ServiceManagerConfig are now deprecated, and will be removed starting in version 3.0:
- ServiceManagerAwareInitializer, which injects classes implementing Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceManagerAwareInterface with the service manager instance. Users should create factories for such classes that directly inject their dependencies instead.
- ServiceLocatorAwareInitializer, which injects classes implementing Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceLocatorAwareInterface with the service manager instance. Users should create factories for such classes that directly inject their dependencies instead.

Zend\Mvc\Controller\AbstractController no longer directly implements Zend\ServiceManager\ServiceLocatorAwareInterface, but still implements the methods defined in that interface. This was done to provide forwards-compatibility, as zend-servicemanager v3 no longer defines the interface. All initializers that do ServiceLocatorInterface injection were updated to also inject when just the methods are present.

#31 and #76 update the component to be forwards-compatible with zend-eventmanager v3.
#36, #76, #80, #81, and #82 update the component to be forwards-compatible with zend-servicemanager v3. Several changes were introduced to support this effort:
- Added a RouteInvokableFactory, which can act as either a FactoryInterface or AbstractFactoryInterface for loading invokable route classes, including by fully qualified class name. This is registered as an abstract factory by default with the RoutePluginManager.
- The DispatchListener now receives the controller manager instance at instantiation.
- The ViewManager implementations were updated, and most functionality within separated into discrete factories.
