A week of symfony #211 (10->16 January 2011)
Symfony2 introduced this week some minor but profound refactorings: the routing component adopted URI template notation, bundles changed their names to be the class name of the bundle not the last part of the namespace and templates name format changed to bundle:section:template.renderer.format (both the renderer and the format are mandatory). Meanwhile, the Symfony2 donation drive to fund code security audits was an astonishing success.

Symfony2 Donation Drive
If you're keeping track of symfony for the past years you know that symfony has an excellent track record as it comes to security. Where security is important for Open Source applications, it is possibly even more so important for a framework, because when an issue is found in a framework there may not just be a single point that can be abused, but the hole might be present throughout the application built on top of this framework.

A week of symfony #210 (3->9 January 2011)
Symfony2 repository received this week a massive amount of commits, mostly on Twig, Form, Security and Doctrine components. Twig bundle was heavily refactored to match the important changes introduced in Twig 1.0 RC1, which was also published this week. Security component added a brand-new ACL system and Form component added support for virtual field groups and a FieldFactory mechanism to automatically create fields by introspecting metadata of a class. Meanwhile, in the last weekly IRC meeting, Fabien unveiled some interesting information about Symfony2, including a new way to handle web assests and the expected roadmap until its final release.
