Symfony2 PR5 released

January 17, 2011 · Published by Avatar of Fabien Potencier Fabien Potencier

I have just released Symfony2 PR5.

As announced in my previous post, the first release candidate should be out soon, so I have decided to tag this release "PR", instead of "beta" to keep things simple.

Published in #Releases

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.

Thank you Fabien and the Symfony team!

I learned so much about PHP by dissecting the core Symfony code. Coming from a game developer perspective, it was a completely different "paradigm". It took me a while to get my head around backend/front end programming. I was a fool and rebuilt my own framework from scratch by pretty much copying all the core (controller, response, request,...) from Symfony. I just threw away all the things I didn't need. In retrospect it was silly, but I learned a lot about PHP.

I continually am amazed at how the code is built. I have used Symfony's codebase countless times for inspiration when writing my own code, and researching programming patterns and such. I wish Fabien wasn't so busy on Symfony that he could write more insightful posts on his own blog :) But I can learn from Symfony 2's code either way.

I plan to start a business this year, turning a side project into a profitable web app. I'm going to rebuild my site from scratch, ditching my "lightweight" version of Symfony, to use the full featured Symfony 2.0 (plus YUI 3 eventually, currently using YUI 2.8.0).

I'm glad to hear the donation drive was a success.

I can't wait to get started!

Great! Looking forward to get the stable version.

Btw, http://symfony-reloaded.org/code still points to PR4 version and it looks like the "Quick tour" section has already been updated.

Since I'm developing with symfony 0.6, now I cannot wait for the final release.
