Symfony core refactorization accelerates as symfony 1.1 release approaches. This week, the routing system, the response object and the request object have been completely refactored.

Development mailing list

• Discussion about building a RAD editor over SF framework

Development highlights

• r4883: fixed fillInFormFilter can't find form with content_type = xml
• r4885: removed sfActionStack::(g|s)etViewInstance methods and sfContext::getCurrentViewInstance() and replaced them with a 'view_instance' object stored in sfContext (this removes the dependency between the action stack and the view sub-system)
• r4886: removed sfLogManager class and moved code to sfLogRotateTask
• r4887: fixed some coding standards
• r4890: refactored storage sub-framework (removed sfContext, sfConfig and sfDatabaseManager dependencies, added a new sfNoStorage to be able to disable sessions, added a new sfDatabaseStorage abstract class for all database based session storage classes, added unit tests, other fixes)
• r4892: refactored routing
  • removed sfContext and sfConfig dependencies (the first parameter of sfRouting::initialize() is now an optional logger)
  • added sfPathInfoRouting
  • fixed sfNoRouting
  • added sfRouting::setDefaultParameter() and sfRouting::setDefaultParameters() (replaces the sfConfig::get('sf_routing_defaults') hack)
  • rewrote sfPatternRouting::getCurrentInternalUri() (and added unit tests)
  • added sfPatternRouting::setDefaultSuffix()
  • loading routing.yml in sfPatternRouting is optional (via the "load_configuration" parameter which is false by default)
  • added sfWebRequest::getGetParameters(), getPostParameters() and getRoutingParameters()
• r4894: fixed routing default suffix + moved load_configuration parameter to factories.yml
• r4895: refactored request and response classes
  • removed sfContext dependency for sfRequest (optional takes a logger and a routing object)
  • removed sfContext dependency for sfResponse (optional takes a logger object)
  • changed sfWebRequest::getError() to return non internationalized data (form_error() still returns internationalized data)
  • changed sfWebResponse::addMeta() to return non internationalized data (include_metas() still returns internationalized data)
  • removed the shutdown() method from request and response classes
  • added a way to remove a meta or http meta from the response (just set the value to null)
• r4898: sfViewParameterHolder tweaks (removed sfConfig dependency, fixed some phpdoc, fixed serialization / unserialization, added unit tests for sfViewParameterHolder and sfEscapedViewParameterHolder)
• r4905: fixed dumping Propel data to multiple files
• Updated dwhittle branch
• ...and many other changes
