Zend Framework 2 is a PHP 5.3+ 5.4 (for Zend Framework 2.4+) or 5.5+ (for Zend Framework 2.5.0+) MVC framework and component library.

Zend Framework 2 is an open source, object-oriented web application framework implemented in PHP 5.3 (PHP 5.5 for version 2.5+) and licensed under the new BSD license.

It is based on simplicity, object-oriented best practices, corporate friendly licensing, and a rigorously tested agile codebase with a main focus on building more secure, reliable, and modern Web 2.0 applications & web services.

The key differentiators from Zend Framework 1 are:

Use of PHP 5.3 namespaces
MVC is used EventManager to run bootstrap, dispatch and view processes
Dependency Injection Container
First class modules
Installation by Composer
Splitted into single components

Features Zend Framework features include:

All components are fully object-oriented PHP 5 and are E_STRICT compliant.
Use-at-will architecture with loosely coupled components and minimal interdependencies.
Extensible MVC implementation supporting layouts and PHP-based
templates by default.
Support for multiple database systems and vendors, including MariaDB, MySQL, Oracle, IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and Informix Dynamic Server.
Email composition and delivery, retrieval via mbox, Maildir, POP3 and IMAP4.
Flexible caching sub-system with support for many types of backends, such as memory or a file system.

Information:

If your question is about Zend Framework 1.x, please use zend-framework instead.

Release:

As of August 3rd 2015, the latest stable release of Zend Framework 2 is version 2.5.2
