Last last symfony 1.1 version released, we swear!

Nicolas Perriault — Thu, 09 Jul 09 14:15:00 +0200

The supposedly last version of symfony 1.1 we released two days ago, tagged 1.1.8, had a weird bug regarding task classes autoloading, which could prevent the symfony command line to work properly.

So you're encouraged to upgrade to the 1.1.9 version, which is therefore the last officially supported one.

Symfony Support in NetBeans 6.8

Fabien Potencier — Wed, 08 Jul 09 09:10:00 +0200

Last week, the NetBeans team announced that the next version of their IDE (6.8) will have native support for symfony! That's a great news for all of us.

They have a dedicated page in their Wiki about symfony support in NetBeans, and the NetBeans 6.8 nightly builds already have some basic support for symfony, like the ability to run a task. To learn more, read Tomas Mysik's blog post about what is already available.

That's exciting, and I think we need to help them building a great IDE for symfony. I highly encourage you to download a 6.8 build, test it with your own projects, and give them feedback.

Latest supported version of the symfony 1.1 branch released today

Nicolas Perriault — Mon, 06 Jul 09 17:48:00 +0200

As we announced one year ago, the support period of symfony 1.1 is reaching its end. Today, we release symfony 1.1.8 which will therefore be the latest supported version of the 1.1 branch, including these bugfixes:

added check in sfActions that prefents infinite recursion in the execute method when the action name is empty (fixes #6710)
fixed generateCacheKey does not coverts dots to underscorse in user given hostname (closes #6252)
fixed loading order of tasks (refs #5348
fixed format_currency returns Exponents (closes #5715)
fixed error message when an UPLOAD_ERR_INI_SIZE occurs on an uploaded file (closes #6453)
fixed sfPager::getLinks() to always return integers (closes #6428)
fixed rare occassion when a widget schema is paired with a simple validator error rather than a validator error schema (see r17587
doSelectWithI18n no longer accidentally modifies the Criteria passed to it (fixes #6243)
enhanced cache loading performance, introducing a new sf_lazy_cache_key setting in settings.yml to ensure BC (see r16905 and r17217)
removed the web debug toolbar when the response status code is in the 3xx range (closes #6153)
Added proxies to sfOutputEscaperSafe so safe vars work as expected when accessed from an action (closes #6147)
fixed possible race-condition in sfConfigCache. (fixes #6132)
fixed sfPluginManager doesn't install dependencies recursively (closes #5998)
fixed form submissions when posted data exceeds post_max_size (closes #6081)
fixed command.filter_options doesn't filter anything (closes #6038)
fixed sfYaml::load wrong parsing with \r\n (closes #6053)
fixed sfForm::mergeForm() ignores reordered widgets (closes #5951)
fixed propel:schema-to-yml composite foreign-Keys wrongly converted (closes #5483)
fixed sf_culture being set automatically when testing, but not when using the site (closes #5852)
fixed sfForm problem when file upload widgets are embedded (closes #5252)
fixed sfValidatorPropelChoice(Many) overrides some Criteria (closes #5924)

As always, you can upgrade your existing projects using symfony 1.1 by running svn up if you use the SVN branch in the official repository, or by launching the pear upgrade command:

$ pear upgrade symfony/symfony-1.1.8

If this release is the latest supported one regading maintenance and bugfixes, don't forget we'll still provide security fixes until June 2010 on this branch.

Symfony Components : The Event Dispatcher

Fabien Potencier — Fri, 03 Jul 09 15:12:00 +0200

After the YAML and the Dependency Injection, it's time for the Symfony Event Dispatcher component to join the crowd of the Symfony components. This component is not new. It has been introduced in symfony 1.1 and is heavily used in the symfony core to make symfony more decoupled and more flexible.

The Symfony Event Dispatcher component is represented by an Octopus.

Of course, you can start using it right away in your non-symfony projects by reading the dedicated book:

Like other published components, the component comes with a test suite that covers 100% of the code, and it is continuously built by the Sensio Labs continuous integration server, Sismo.

symfony community event: 1 day = 1 ticket

Pascal Borreli — Wed, 01 Jul 09 20:52:00 +0200

The idea of this event comes from a discussion between members of the #symfony-fr IRC channel. The main idea is to let people contribute back something to symfony that only takes a few minutes a day.

The main goals of this event are the following:

Enhance the quality of the documentation
Enhance performance of future releases
Enhance the coverage of the automated tests
Close the open bugs to let the core team work on new features

The rules are simple:

Once registered into the event, you have to close/resolve/create+patch a minimum of one ticket a day.
You can work on two tickets the same day and dispatch them on two different days (for instance, you cannot work on symfony on Monday, but you have fixed two tickets on Tuesday, so just pick one and pretend to have fixed it on Monday)
Each month, prizes will be awarded to three participants (the rules will be choosed depending on how many contributors registered but at least one prize will be randomly offered to one of them).

And here are the rewards:

Each month, Fabien Potencier offers a book of winner choice:

Practical symfony 1.2 for Doctrine - second edition
OR Practical symfony 1.2 for Propel - second edition
OR Symfony : Mieux développer en PHP avec Symfony 1.2 et Doctrine
OR The symfony 1.2 Reference Guide (soon available)

Each month, Jonathan Wage offers a Doctrine Book.

Pascal Borreli offers a surprise gift.

Each month, ServerGrove offers the winner:

$100 credit for ServerGrove services (can be transfered to family, friends or customers)
OR $50 Amazon gift certificate

For July and August, Ideato.it offers a random PHP t-shirt (size L) from php|architect

If you want to sponsor the event, contact me at pborreli@sqli.com.

How can you participate?

First, go to the dedicated Wiki page and add your name to the list of participants.

Then, read carefully the How to contribute to symfony wiki page.

Eventually, every day, add the ticket number you added/closed/patched to the table (#9999) under the correct day.

Symfony Components: The Dependency Injection Container

Fabien Potencier — Tue, 30 Jun 09 10:46:00 +0200

Some weeks ago, I introduced the symfony components project. The first component to be released was the YAML component.

Today, I'm excited to announce the immediate availability of the second symfony component, the Symfony Dependency Injection Container. This component is one of the core libraries that will power Symfony 2. But you don't need to wait for Symfony 2 to be released to benefit from it. You can start using it today and give us feedback.

As for YAML, the Symfony Dependency Injection Container has its own dedicated website:

The component has already a full book dedicated to it, and a full API documentation.

It also sports a robust test suite with a 100% code coverage as you can see for yourself in the screenshot below.

As for all other symfony products, the component is monitored by the symfony continuous integration server, Sismo, and all the builds are publicly available.

Sourceforge Community Choice Awards: symfony is a Finalist

Fabien Potencier — Mon, 22 Jun 09 21:44:00 +0200

A few weeks ago, I asked the community to help symfony get selected as a finalist for the Sourceforge Community Choice Awards.

And guess what? The answer from the community has been extraordinary! Thanks to our dedicated community, symfony has been chosen as a finalist in three categories:

Best Project
Best Tool or Utility for Developers
Best Project for the Enterprise

It's great, but that's just the beginning. For symfony to win one or more categories, we need your help again.

The first thing to do is to vote for symfony on the Sourceforge Awards dedicated page.

The next thing to do is to spread the word about the competition around you (you can start by retweeting my announcement on Twitter, or publish a post on your blog like I did on mine).

Last but not the least, make sure your mom doesn't forget to vote for symfony ;)
