The core team is happy to announce the latest patch versions of symfony 1.3 and 1.4 have been released and are available for immediate download. These releases include a fix for a longstanding issue when rendering the response title, Javascripts, stylesheets, etc from a template partial, as well as a tweak to the default session_cache_limiter value. For a full list of changes, checkout the changelog.
There have been some important fixes made to the Doctrine 1.2 branch which have not been released as an official version by the Doctrine team yet. We have decided to include these fixes in these releases of symfony by "pegging" the Doctrine external at a specific revision. When Doctrine 1.2.4 is released, we will release again. That release will be the final release cut from the symfony 1.3 branch. Of course, symfony 1.4 will enjoy long term support from the core team for another two years.
How to Upgrade
If you've checked out a copy of the tag from Subversion you can switch to
the latest version:
// symfony 1.3
$ svn switch http://svn.symfony-project.com/tags/RELEASE_1_3_9
// symfony 1.4
$ svn switch http://svn.symfony-project.com/tags/RELEASE_1_4_9
If you are using the PEAR package you can update using the pear command:
// symfony 1.3
$ pear upgrade symfony/symfony-1.3.9
// symfony 1.4
$ pear upgrade symfony/symfony-1.4.9
Wasn't symfony 1.3 supposed to be out of support?
@Massimiliano: The current plan is to release one more patch version of symfony 1.3 shortly after the next release of Doctrine 1.2.
I would not recommend upgrading to 1.4.9 if you are using MSSQL, as it seems Doctrine broke something in the MSSQL connection class...
Call to a member function getSqlQueryPart() on a non-object in ...\lib\vendor\symfony\lib\plugins\sfDoctrinePlugin\lib\vendor\doctrine\Doctrine\Connection\Mssql.php
What about Propel? There's already stable 1.5 version...
Besides the usual "this and this deprecated" messages Pear gives me this error and fails to install Symfony 1.4.9 on Debian 5: ERROR: unable to unpack /tmp/pear/download/symfony-1.4.9.tgz
"These releases include a fix for a longstanding issue when rendering the response title, Javascripts, stylesheets, etc from a template partial" Can't see such fix in the changelog...anybody knows what changeset has that fix?
Great news. Thank you. Upgrading in progress ...
