A week of symfony #222 (28 March -> 3 April 2011)

April 4, 2011 · Published by Avatar of Javier Eguiluz Javier Eguiluz

This week, the Symfony2 codebase was heavily updated to use shorter bundle names, removing the 'Bundle' suffix. However, in the last IRC meeting it was decided to revert that decision, after a lengthy discussion in the mailing list.

In addition, Symfony2 introduced a new API sub-namespace: "a set of public interfaces that keeps the components decoupled but also allows for more optional features to be added". Among many other things, this API will allow to use keys instead of messages for translation, a long-standing request for lots of symfony developers.

Too bad, there is no decision for the form refactoring yet.
The form framework is an essential part of symfony and many developers are waiting just for the final word there to start playing with the preview releases/betas.

Sigh, I just removed 'Bundle' everywhere, well, that's part of using PR software I guess.
Also: what Stoyan said.

Stoyan: Well that's exactly that on my part.
I am postponing till decision on Forms (hopefully to include refactoring).
From IRC meeting logs - PR10 was planed for today... may be it is delayed still?!

The documentation NEEDS a example of the creation of a complete application, like a blog, using the most of features: Doctrine ORM, form integration, pagination. The information in Cookbook and the Book is spread in several pages, and it's dificult to follow a straigth line to make a full application.
