Symfony 1.1 Released

Posted on July 1st, 2008 in php by jeremyp

The guys over at symfony have just released the much-anticipated version 1.1 of their popular PHP web framework. I have yet to try out the new version, but if it’s as good as it sounds, we’re in for a treat. I switched from Rails to symfony 1.0 relatively recently because of Ruby’s dog-slow performance on Dreamhost, and am loving it.

Version 1.1 is technically a “transition” release that will bridge the gap between 1.0 and 1.2, but there are still quite a few improvements. Some of the new features include:

  • Increased support of better-performing ORMs (than Propel 1.2) like Propel 1.3 and Doctrine
  • New object-oriented form framework
  • New forms book to go along with said framework
  • New task system for easy maintenance and batching
  • Countless performance and usability improvements
Get it while it’s hot, folks!
