Symfony Blog

I have been the symfony Community Manager for just over two weeks now, but so far things have been silent. This has been for several reasons (new job, preparing for Symfony Day) but also to work out some plans I have. I have also received a couple of excellent ideas from the community, which I will be following up in the coming months.

Calm week for symfony core development, mostly focused on lime 2.0 tool. Meanwhile, plugins showed an intense development activity with hundreds of changesets and more than 27 updated plugins.

Symfony popularity continued growing this week as demonstrated by the five new symfony bloggers and the seven new plugins published. Doctrine integration also showed a remarkable activity, including a new combo build task that merges and deprecates six tasks.

Symfony project introduced this week its new community manager and detailed its future symfony 1.3 and 1.4 releases. In addition, symfony marketplace expanded with new developers available to hire and new symfony job postings.

Join me in welcoming Stefan to the team!

The January 2010 end of maintenance for symfony 1.0 is fast approaching. Though we may feel a certain attachment to this first stable release of symfony, discontinuing its support is a natural step in the evolution of the project.

The one where we talk about the symfony check tool.

I'm very pleased to announce our first 1day1ticket winners.

Symfony deprecated this week several helpers, settings and classes in the 1.3 branch. All these features will be removed in symfony 1.4 and are explained in the new deprecation guide

This week, another symfony event was announced and the videos of the last symfony conference were published. In addition, dependency injection component and lime 2.0 tool were updated.
