• A week of symfony
• 4

Symfony 1.1 code continues under heavy development activity. During this week, methods, variables and constants have been added, moved or deleted throughout the code. In addition, symfony 1.1 continues adding some last minute goodies: all the great features of sfPropelAlternativeSchemaPlugin will be natively available in the next version of the framework.

#1 David D. said about 11 hours later

Great Stuff.

Nevertheless, from my far and not very envolved point of view, and regarding the last two weeks, I get the feeling that you find it hard to stop bringing new stuff into 1.1. Code freeze is not for tomorrow, I guess.

#2 Laurynas Malisauskas said about 14 hours later

it is critical to know when we can expect a 1.1 version release. shall i wait for it or to release current project on version 1.0.xx

#3 Michael said about 18 hours later

I suggest feature-freeze too

#4 Smith said 5 days later

When 1.1 will be ready? any schedule?
