Release Candidates for symfony 1.3 and 1.4!

Posted 5 days ago by Kris Wallsmith

On the heels of a fantastic
BugHuntDay
held over the weekend, the symfony core team is happy to announce the
immediate availability of the first release candidates for versions 1.3 and
1.4.

For those of you not familiar ... [More] with the release and maintenance schedules for
versions 1.3 and 1.4, take a look at our earlier About symfony 1.3 and
symfony 1.4
blog post.

These release candidates address a number of defects and add a few minor
enhancements to the 1.3 and 1.4 branches.

Optimizations

A number of components have been further optimized for these releases. Most
notable is the routing factory, which performs as much as 25% faster than just
the previous 1.3 beta2 release, though your mileage may vary. The new
project:optimize task also does more now, eliminating a number of filesystem
reads when loading template helpers.

Widget Translations

The text used for the options in choice widgets is now passed through the
widget translation mechanism. As a part of this enhancement a number of
strings have been added to the translation catalogues for the Doctrine and
Propel admin generators. If you've worked on translations in the past and have
a few moments, please help by updating the translation strings added in this
changeset.

Two More Weeks

The stable releases of both symfony 1.3 and 1.4 are scheduled to go out two
weeks from now, with one more release candidate for each in the meantime. If
you haven't done so yet, please take a moment to upgrade a project to symfony
1.3 or start a new one with symfony 1.4. Be sure to read through what's
new, the upgrade
tutorial and the list
of what's been
deprecated for
more information on these two latest releases of symfony.

BugHuntDay Report

Posted 6 days ago by Stefan Koopmanschap

Last saturday was the day that the PHPBenelux usergroup organized their annual BugHuntDay. This year, the focus was on symfony, which led to 4 core team members being there amongst the attendees of the day. The day was attended by 17 people in total ... [More] who seemed excited to commit some time to supporting symfony, as well as a number of people in the IRC chatroom.

For the event, a seperate milestone was created in trac to keep track of the things that were fixed during the BugHuntDay and also for people to have a single place to pick their tickets from.

Now for some statistics: 28 tickets from the milestone were closed, with a couple of additional related tickets that were encountered while working on the tickets for the BugHuntDay. Out of those, 15 were marked as fixed, 5 marked as wontfix and 8 were verified and found working in the most recent version of symfony. The focus here was on symfony 1.3, however a number of tickets also touched symfony 1.2 and backports were made accordingly.

The event was a major success, thanks to the sponsor of the day, Intracto, as well as the core team members that were present. But most of all, of course, by the attendees that sacrificed some of their spare time to dig into the bowels of symfony to fix some of the open issues and get a good look at what is inside symfony.
