A week of symfony #30 (23->29 July 2007)
July 30, 2007 • Published by Javier Eguiluz
Symfony development steadily progresses towards 1.1 version and prepares for major refactoring during following weeks. Plugins list adds up 108 plugins, with 3 more plugins released this week. Symfony's marketplace grows with new job offers and devolpers for hire all around the world.
This week we've also known that symfony 1.1 will feature a new polished and revamped CLI. Although all the old tasks will work as in symfony 1.0, the new tasks will be bundled in namespaces (for example propel:build-all
, propel:insert-sql
, i18n:find
), will use more meaningful names (for example log:clear
, generate:module
, generate:controller
) and will output useful and complete information about their use.
