Symfony 1.1 maintains its strong development activity for another week. More than 130 changesets have been committed, including a new cache:clear task and a new YAML parser/dumper that replaces Spyc. Nearly 50 bugs have been closed and more than 20 plugins have been updated.

Development highlights

  • r7794, r7795: [1.0, 1.1] Fixed "UrlHelper::link_to_unless() generates undefined property "tag" in links"

  • r7823: [1.1] added a session_id parameter to the sfSessionTestStorage
  • r7826: [1.1] fixed sfConfigHandler::replacePath() to work with array of paths (like ::replaceConstants())

  • r7849: [1.1] allowed symlinks for autoloading (closes #2164)

  • r7862: [1.1] fixed xliff formatting
  • r7870: [1.1] added symfony information in the web debug toolbar
  • r7886: [1.1] fixed bugs in sfYamlInline (throw an exception when trying to dump a resource, escape \n in strings when dumping, better support for timestamps, fixed dumping an empty string, fixed dumping keys that contains special characters that need escaping, remove comments at the end of a line, added support for !str, fixed support for floats)
  • r7888, r7889: [1.0, 1.1] removed wordwrap option when dumping YAML as it can cause some problems (closes #3083, #2514)
  • r7892: [1.1] replaced Spyc with a new YAML parser/dumper
    • removed Spyc
    • added sfYamlParser, sfYamlDumper (should be totally BC thanks to the unit tests)
    • the parser and the dumper are much more robust and much more easier to fix
    • exceptions are thrown when a non valid YAML file is parsed (when you forget a : after a key for example, or if the indentation is not right ;))
    • fixed a bunch of bugs of the old parser
    • speed is more or less the same as Spyc
    • added an option to control the dump to switch from the block to the flow notation (propel:build-schema is now much more readable in YAML)
    • added more unit tests
  • r7899: [1.1] replaced ESC_ENTITIES by ESC_SPECIALCHARS as the default escaping strategy + fixed some wrong calls to htmlspecialchars
  • r7900: [1.0] fixed some htmlspecialchars() calls (added the current charset)
  • r7902: [1.1] rename sfValidatorBase to sfValidator in sfCompat10Plugin and renamed the new sfValidator class to sfValidatorBase (closes #3103)
  • r7914: [1.1] fixed an error when no source exist in i18n message source
  • r7923: [1.1] added indentation modifier support to folded blocks + fixed string <-> integer conversion in sfYamlInline

We&#039;re really blessed with all these new plugins.

oooh that new sfDynamicCMSPlugin has got me all excited!

Is there any plan to merge this with the sfSimpleCMS? they seem very similar, shame to repeat it all.


Can&#039;t wait for sfExtjsThemePlugin to be mature, it&#039;s going to be ace.
