Very calm week for symfony core development. In contrast, plugins showed their usual intense development activity. Due to plugins' success, symfony announced this week the first plugin developers day.

I am happy to announce the upcoming plugin developers day, happening on Saturday November 8th from 3:00pm to 9:00pm GMT in the #symfony IRC channel.

The symfony framework has always been bundled with a functional testing framework and it is certainly one of its main strengths.

On October 18, 2005, Fabien Potencier commited the first changeset of symfony's source code. Therefore, our favorite PHP framework has just turned 3 years old.

This week symfony turned 3 years old. More than 1,000 days and 12,200 changesets after the first commit, symfony activity is more intense than ever. During last twelve months, 14 versions of symfony were released (10 of 1.0.x branch and 4 of 1.1.x branch).
