A week of symfony #190 (16->22 August 2010)

August 22, 2010 · Published by Avatar of Javier Eguiluz Javier Eguiluz

This week, Symfony2 development focused on the logger and the refactorization of exception management. Moreover, template helpers modified their syntax and, by popular demand, Symfony\Components namespace was renamed to Symfony\Component. Lastly, Symfony2 was introduced to the phpBB community at the Libertyvasion conference that took place this week on New York.
