It won't be long before the release of symfony 1.1 and therefore continues the refactoring of its components. The logging system, the web debug toolbar and the symfony bootstraping have been refactored this week.

Development highlights

  • r4823: added /web/*_dev.php to config/rsync_exclude.txt skeleton
  • r4825: fixed propel-dump-data outputs model name when table is empty
  • r4828: fixed propel-dump-data & sfGuard
  • r4832: fixed propel-dump-data does not preserve data loading order
  • r4835: fixed sfPropelData::dump() filenames when dumping to a directory
  • r4839: added a new sfException::createFromException to wrap Exception instances
