The last month has been quite active for symfony. If you followed the timeline, you might have seen numerous bug corrections and enhancements to the framework, including:

  • better Ajax support (prototype and script.aculo.us)
  • many symfony generators enhancements (including support for primary keys not named id, foreign keys, multi-primary keys, post links and confirmation for delete links)
  • dev environment is much faster
  • better debug sidebar
  • better i18n support (variable substitution)
  • lot a small fixes for Windows users (extended IIS support)
  • support for non virtual host configurations (alias, etc.)
  • automatic support for created_at and updated_at columns (Propel + generator)
  • rich text support (tinymce) for textarea_tag helper
  • new configurable suffix by route (with directory and no suffix support)
  • enforced one URL for one ressource

All these are available in the new 0.4.2 stable release. To update your symfony installation, type:

pear upgrade symfony/symfony

Don't forget to clear the cache of all your projects by calling in each of them:

symfony cc

Note: the default suffix was changed from from .html to .. As it might break backward compatibility, refer to the routing chapter of the documentation.

Note: for the users of the beta version, the 0.4.2 is equivalent to the 0.5.116. You can keep on using nightly builds.
