Symfony 4 has been released a month ago; the latest major version of symfony 1 was released
8 years ago.
Its end of life was reached 5 years ago.
Why a blog post about symfony 1 then? Because SensioLabs is still maintaining
the symfony 1 infrastructure: mainly the subversion server and the plugin
platform. I think it's time to move on and sunset the platform. We will shut
down the Symfony 1 infrastructure at the end of February 2018. If there is
enough interest, we will probably keep the API documentation and downloadable
artefacts somewhere on symfony.com. But you won't be able to start new projects
via Subversion or install new plugins. Note that existing projects won't be
affected in any way.
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.
Wow, that means we are working with symfony for a decade now! What a great framework! We migrated projects to the latest versions, but we also have one big project still running on 1.4. Therefore we would appreciate if you keep those symfony docs online. Would it be an option if we host the docs? That would give us and others working with 1.4 access to the docs (and save you the hosting cost). Please contact me if that’s an option…
Long time ago symfony 1.0 was the reason I sticked to PHP as my primary language instead of moving somewhere else. Later Symfony 2 gave me even more reasons to stay, but that's another story :)
Absolutely keep the docs up :) I just migrated an s1 app to s3 a few months ago, and I'm sure there will be actively-maintained s1 apps out there for a while
RIP sf 1, with ❤️.
Thanks to the entire team, you boosted my career as a web developer!
Maybe a "symfony1" organization could be created to keep a nice track on this :)
