The Symfony2 Online Conference gathered this week hundreds of symfony developers. The introduction of a brand new form framework and its validation component was the first big announcement of the conference. In addition, Symfony2 unveiled its killer feature, a built-in HTTP accelerator that greatly improves the performance of Symfony2 applications. Lastly, the 30,000th changeset of symfony 1.x branch repository was committed this week.
