In this post we'll touch on a few different aspects of the symfony 1.2 release such as the new admin generators, form framework, and embedded forms with a tutorial that starts from a brand new project.

Preparations for the coming plugin developers day are proceeding apace. I've heard from a number of you who are planning to attend, some planning to start development on a new, groudbreaking plugin, others looking to help update existing plugins to work with the latest and greatest version of symfony, and still others just hoping to learn from the lively discussion. All types are welcome!

One of the form framework strengths is its ability to deal with nested forms. As of symfony 1.2, nested objects are automatically saved.

As promised, the first beta version of symfony 1.2 was released this week, featuring lots of improvements and a new admin generator. In addition, symfony project activity has been stunning during this week: more than 200 changesets, 5 new plugins, 15 updated plugins, 8 new symfony-powered websites and lots of documentation updates.

As the first beta version of symfony 1.2 is about to be released, I want to have a look at the current state of the documentation for this new version and what must be done before the final release

In this post, I will describe the general concepts of the new admin generator. The chapter about the admin generator in the symfony book has already been updated, so you can start reading it right away.

Control everything that is Doctrine from a nice web interface. Its primary feature is the ability to control your Doctrine schema from your browser using a set of symfony forms.

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.
