As the first beta release of symfony 1.1 approaches, we need to plan the transition carefully.

As per our commitment to support symfony 1.0 in the long term, we try to publish a bug fix release every month. Each release fixes various bugs and documentation typos but never introduces new features.

As I want to focus on the 1.1 development branch, I decided to delegate the responsibility of maintaining the 1.0 branch to someone else. To be honest, I thought two people wouldn't be too much ;o)

So, I am pleased to introduce you Noël Guilbert and Grégoire Hubert. They are going to take over the job of pushing out 1.0 releases.

They will be in charge of planning the coming releases, choosing the tickets to be included and the general packaging of the releases. What really settled my choice was that they work with symfony 1.0 on a day to day basis for Sensio customers and are part of the Sensio team.

So, if you think that some "old" tickets need some attention, please ping us on the symfony developer mailing-list.

If you want your ticket to be included in the very next release of symfony 1.0, try to conform to these simple rules:

  • Describe the problem in a concise way
  • Give some examples that illustrate the problem
  • Write unit/functional tests
  • Write a well-formed patch

Of course, I will keep an eye on the 1.0 branch tickets and releases to ensure everything is going well.

So, please join me in welcoming Noël and Grégoire as the new symfony 1.0's release managers.
