The first release candidate for Symfony 2.3.0 is out. The most noticeable
changes are the creation of the 2.3 branch and the switch from dev
to
RC
in the Standard Edition composer.json
file.
You can see the whole CHANGELOG online if you want to learn more about the few bugs that were fixed since beta2.
If everything goes fine, the final release should be out before the end of May, as planned in our release process.
Thank you very much. Very promising. Updating ...
It's a shame that the symfony ICU component requires libicu 4.4 or newer - it means I can't use Symfony 2.3 on RHEL/CentOS 5.x (even with remi & epel).
Otherwise… yay!
Good news indeed! +1
Just opened an issue (https://github.com/schmittjoh/JMSSecurityExtraBundle/issues/129) as I can't upgrade my project to 2.3.RC1 due to jms/di-extra-bundle requirements :(
FYI, if you're on CentOS/RHEL and using the remi PHP, you can roll your own Sf 2.3 compliant php-intl like this:
wget http://download.icu-project.org/files/icu4c/4.8.1.1/icu4c-4_8_1_1-src.tgz tar zxvf icu4c-4_8_1_1-src.tgz cd icu/source ./runConfigureICU Linux --prefix=/usr/local make sudo make install
cd .. wget http://uk1.php.net/get/php-5.4.15.tar.bz2/from/this/mirror tar jxvf php-5.4.15.tar.bz2 cd php-5.4.15/ext/intl phpize ./configure make sudo cp ~/php-5.4.15/ext/intl/modules/intl.so /usr/lib64/php/modules/
And then add an ini file like /etc/php.d/intl.ini that loads the intl.so extension.
WARNING: You'll have to update that extension manually whenever the PHP API version changes (e.g. moving to PHP 5.5?)
You people are doing magic. Thank you very much for all you're giving to PHP's world.
