Symfony 2.1.3 released

October 30, 2012 • Published by Fabien Potencier

Warning: Symfony 2.1 is no longer supported. Consider upgrading your applications to the most recent Symfony version.

I like numbers: they are hard facts that demonstrates the popularity of Symfony and the commitment of its community. During the last month, I've merged 71 pull requests from 47 contributors, representing 181 commits, for the Symfony 2.0 and 2.1 branches. That's the story of Symfony 2.1.3.

Grab Symfony 2.1.3 from the download page or update your applications through Composer:

        1
        $ composer.phar update symfony/symfony

Help the Symfony project!

As with any Open-Source project, contributing code or documentation is the most common way to help, but we also have a wide range of sponsoring opportunities.

That composer command will put you on a dev branch, not on the tagged version 2.1.3:

Open composer.json. Look for "minimum-stability" near the bottom of the file. Change "dev" to "stable".

Update again and composer will update to stable versions not development versions.

i'm getting error with commande php composer.phar update if i use "stable" in "minimum-stability" part.

hxnk said on Oct 31, 2012 at 08:28

Set minimum-stability to "alpha". Most of the vendor bundles will be stable, I only have "kriswallsmith/assetic" and "twig/extensions" as alpha-versions with this setting. Composer updates nicely with this :)

Chris Banford said on Oct 31, 2012 at 12:24

Update Composer first: php composer.phar self-update

Then just running the update symfony/symfony command also put me onto Symfony 2.1.4-DEV...

Set minimum-stability to "alpha" got me back onto 2.1.3 (I had to delete vendor and composer.lock)

Thanks for that tip - worked for me :-)

Composer just removes my namespace.php file and replace it with fresh one instead of updating it ?

This will break my current custom vendors. Suchj as cacheBundle. It says "There is no extension able to load the configuration for "cache""

Weird.

I did : php composer.phar self-update

Then :

Remove my composer.lock file and my vendor folder
Change "dev" to "alpha"
php composer.phar update

And i get this : [UnexpectedValueException] vendor/symfony/symfony/df56161661611 is not a zip archive

Did anyone solve this problem ?

why not set specific version in composer.json

"symfony/symfony": "2.1.3",

When I substitute '2.1.3' for '2.1.x' in my composer.json, I get this when I run composer:

Problem 1 - Can only install one of: symfony/symfony v2.1.3, symfony/symfony 2.1.x-dev. - Can only install one of: symfony/symfony v2.1.3, symfony/symfony 2.1.x-dev. - Installation request for symfony/symfony 2.1.3 -> satisfiable by symfony/symfony v2.1.3. - Installation request for symfony/symfony == 2.1.9999999.9999999-dev -> satisfiable by symfony/symfony 2.1.x-dev.

Nothing in my composer.json and nothing in my composer.lock refers to '2.1.9999999.9999999-dev' so I don;t know what requirement is getting in the way.

It would sure be nice if the symfony2 wizards could explain how to do an update without updating to the dev branch of messing up other dependencies.

I did this:

Download Symfony without vendors
Unpack the archive
open composer.json
Changed minimum-stability to stable
Installed composer.phar
Run composer.phar install

Voila! All packages installed are stable versions.
