A week of symfony #70 (28 april -> 4 may 2008)

May 4, 2008 · Published by Avatar of Javier Eguiluz Javier Eguiluz

This week, symfony 1.0 branch has fixed several bugs, while symfony 1.1 branch continues polishing some features with bugfixes and refactorings. Among plugins, development activity has been focused on Doctrine. The plugin sfDoctrine for symfony 1.1 now has all the features of the bundled plugin sfPropelPlugin. In fact, sfDoctrinePlugin has even more features such as migrations, DQL, inheritance and additional admin generator features.

Plugins

  • New plugins
    • sfInstantCMSPlugin: creates editable regions on a page with ease. Enables you to quickly create a custom CMS without writing a single line of database related code. This plugin was inspired by the Zope application server.
    • sfSyncClusterPlugin: introduces a symfony sync-cluster task. This task is intended as a replacement for the symfony sync task. The plugin is backwards-compatible with symfony sync (they even use the same configuration files) but offers several advantages: synchronizes a symfony application across an unlimited number of servers, clears the symfony cache on each server, allows you to use ssh public/private keyfile authentication so you won't be prompted for a password during long deployments.
