3 years after: symfony 1.0 Last release!

Grégoire Hubert — Wed, 27 Jan 10 15:32:00 +0100

The 27th of January is kind of an important date in mankind history. Of course, everybody know it is the birthday of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the date of the invention of the light-bulb by Thomas Edison. To this list, the core team is proud to add the last release of the symfony 1.0 branch: symfony 1.0.22.

Who remembers this blog post, it was 3 years ago in February 2007:

« Symfony is more mature than ever, faster than ever, and more configurable and extendable than ever. A lot of websites officially declare using symfony, and we know of dozens of other applications, either Intranet or Internet, running symfony without any problem. The symfony framework is definitely ready to power complex web 2.0 applications with a lot of users. »

The job has been successfully done for 3 long years:

163,889 lines of PHP compatible from PHP 5.0
22 stable releases
more than 200 bugs fixed
more than 300 compatible plugins
hundred and hundred sites still using askeet code ;)

What about now? Well, of course for all of us who have coded with sf 1.4 it would be a pain to deal with sf1.0 forms and validation, Propel 1.2, old command line, old routing format, old old old... but it's because we have been using sf1.0 a lot that we could spot possible enhancements and make sf1.x a successful story. It is now time for symfony 1.0 to retire and let sf1.4 be the new LTS release.

The core team would like to thank all of you using symfony, all of those who did participate to this tremendous adventure... there is more to come!

Changelog: This is the last bug fix release.

r26992: replaced prototype 1.5.0 with 1.5.1.2 (security fix)
r24622: allowed I18N functions with __toString methods
r24619: fixed incorrect array access of lastModified header
r23984: not setting status header for servers in cgi-sapi
r23886: fixed notice on undefined uri in sfCacheFilter (fixes #6514)
r23725: stimulating autoloading in sfFunctionCache
r23543: fixed deprecated use of split for PHP 5.3 (closes #7509)
r22498: removed different formatting for currency symbol

More about Git (Symfony Live update)

Fabien Potencier — Mon, 18 Jan 10 19:20:00 +0100

Last week, I announced on this blog the migration of Symfony 2 code to Git. As a way to get your feet wet with Git, I have also recommended to read the Pro Git book by Scott Chacon.

A session about Git at Symfony Live

Today, I'm really excited to announce that Scott Chacon will be our guest at the Symfony Live Conference in February. Of course, he will host a session about Git.

Scott is a Git evangelist and developer working at GitHub.com. He is the author of the Git Internals Peepcode PDF as well as the maintainer of the Git homepage and the Git Community Book. Scott has presented at OSCON, RuPy, KungFu Rails, RailsConf, RubyConf, Scotland on Rails, Ruby Kaigi and a number of local groups and has done corporate training on Git across the country.

During his session, he will cover what Git is and how it differs from Subversion. He will go over why it's so powerful and how it turns source control from a necessary annoyance into a powerful development tool. He will cover the technical underpinnings of the system, common tips and best practices for getting the most out of Git and ways to use Git that you may not have thought of before – as a pure content-addressable filesystem. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of Git and hopefully a new way of thinking about how to work.

The Symfony Live schedule is getting better and better with expert speakers from different horizons. You can still attend Symfony Live by registering today.

A training on Git

And if you want to learn more about Git from one of the best expert in the field, I'm really excited to announce that Scott will also host a one-day training the day after the conference. As one of the very first training about Git organized in Europe, this is a unique opportunity you won't want to miss. The training will take place at the Cité Universitaire de Paris, the same venue as the Symfony Live conference.

During this one-day training, you will learn how to use Git from the ground up. By the end of the day, you should be able to use Git effectively as a developer, and have a solid understanding of why and how it works as well as the tools to manipulate and control it to whatever ends you need.

The number of seats is limited to 40. You can book your seat today. Of course you can register even if you don't come at the Symfony Live Conference.

Symfony 2 Migration to Git

Fabien Potencier — Wed, 13 Jan 10 15:38:00 +0100

As you might have noticed if you follow me on Twitter (which you should do as I make a lot of small announcements there), or if you monitor the Subversion activity closely, the Symfony 2 code is now hosted on Git.

First of all, let's make it clear right from the start:

The symfony 1.x branches won't be migrated to Git, ever. This post is only talking about Symfony 2, which is obviously not yet released.

So, from now on, all the development activity for Symfony 2 will take place on the new Git repository.

What is Git?

Git is a free distributed revision control system. As explained on Wikipedia, Git was initially designed and developed by Linus Torvalds for Linux kernel development.

Since then, Git has been embraced by a lot of big projects like Ruby on Rails; and recently more and more PHP projects have also made the switch (like PHPUnit or CakePHP for instance).

Apart from being fast as hell, it is also a brand new way of thinking and coding. Being distributed means that when you get a copy of a project (a "clone" in Git speak), you retrieve locally a full-fledged repository with complete history. It allows you to easily work offline for instance.

The other big advantage of Git for a project like Symfony is the ease of accepting contribution from our users. Instead of submitting patches (which you can also do), you can "fork" the project, do some work and ask a member of the core team to "pull" your work. It dramatically lowers the barrier of entry for contributing to the Symfony core. You can also easily maintain your own version of Symfony, and merge the changes easily from the master branch (easy branching and merging is yet another big advantage of Git compared to Subversion).

Symfony on Git

Git being distributed by nature, there is no need for a central repository. That being said, we host an official Git repository on Github. Nowadays, Github is probably the easiest way to participate in the collaboration loop. Everything can be done from their website with some clicks of the mouse (from forking the code to request a pull).

You can also fork one of the core team member repository, like mine, if you want to live on the edge.

Learn to love Git

Many people think that Git is too hard to understand and learn. That's not really true. Of course, you need some help to get started and more important to grasp the main concepts behind Git.

But even if finding documentation on the Internet about Git is not that difficult, it's very difficult to find good tutorials for beginners. I was learning Git the hard way, being frustrated more than once, until I read the excellent Pro Git book by Scott Chacon. This book is the best documentation I have ever read on Git and teach you everything you need to know to master Git in a matter of hours. You can buy the printed book or read it online for free as it is released under the GFDL license!

The Subversion Mirror

Last but not the least, if you don't want to switch to Git or if you cannot afford it because of some corporate policy, be reassured, we won't abandon you. As a user of Symfony, you can still use Subversion as the main Git repository is mirrored on the Symfony Subversion repository as well under the 2.0 branch.
