• A week of symfony

This week, the refactorization of the web debug toolbar was completed, resulting in a much more powerful and flexible tool. In addition, this week started the refactorization of the admin generator, which will include ideas suggested by symfony users. Development activity of the plugins was also remarkable, especially for sfPropelPlugin and DbFinderPlugin.
