This week, the new Symfony2 forms were declared in beta state and functional tests added support for cookies and sessions. Meanwhile, Symfony2-based micro-framework Silex gained form and swiftmailer support and could even include a small admin generator. Lastly, symfony community started a campaign to ask NetBeans IDE to add support for Symfony2.

#A week of symfony
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.

#Security Advisories
This week, Symfony2 gained a new intl extension stub, which will prevent some possible problems related to the intl extension requirement. In addition, the new event manager was committed, probably being one of the last major changes of Symfony2 code. Lastly, the symfony-docs repository also received lots of commits, as Symfony2 stabilization allows expanding and improving its documentation.

#Community
This week, the echoes of the last Symfony Live conference still resonated in the symfony community. Meanwhile, Symfony2 switched most of its methods and properties from protected to private, a decision made to ease its maintenance that generated a lengthy and heated discussion on the mailing list. Lastly, in the last weekly IRC meeting core developers decided that "there won't be any other big change before Symfony 2.0 version, no matter what".
