Ok, I’m jealous.

Looks like everyone is having fun at symfony Camp.

Maybe next year?

I’ll be at ZendCon ‘07

see you there?

Updating your symfony dev environment while maintaining legacy support for an older project:

mkdir /www/symfony_archive
cd /www/symfony_archive

svn co http://svn.symfony-project.com/tags/RELEASE_0_6_3 RELEASE_0_6_3

change httpd.conf:
Alias /sf /www/symfony_archive/RELEASE_0_6_3/data/web/sf

make symlinks:
cd /www/sfprojects/legacyproject/lib
ln -s /www/symfony_archive/RELEASE_0_6_3/lib symfony
cd /www/sfprojects/legacyproject/data
ln -s /www/symfony_archive/RELEASE_0_6_3/data symfony

Add this to /myproject/config/config.php
$sf_symfony_lib_dir = SF_ROOT_DIR.'/lib/symfony';
$sf_symfony_data_dir = SF_ROOT_DIR.'/data/symfony';

symfony cc

//make sure project is working
//in debug mode, click “vars and config” -> Settings
//make sure paths under sf_class_autoload: are all using new symfony_archive paths ( ie. /www/symfony_archive/RELEASE_0_6_3/lib/util/sfFinder.class.php )

then as root:
pear upgrade symfony/symfony

Check to make sure you’re running the new version:
symfony -V

Both Full and Part time positions are starting to popup for Symfony developers.

Symfony graces the cover of the April issue of php|Arch !

Kudos to Dustin Whittle for the article.

Fabien Pontencier, Project Lead of symfony spoke at PHP Quebec this past week and has posted his slides in both French and English.

The one surprise to me on the last slide was the revealing of symfony-forge!

Congrats to the entire Symfony dev team for releasing Symfony-1.0!

The Symfony Book is out as well, both online and print format.

Review coming shortly. (after I finish reading it)

There’s a sneak preview chapter available from the upcoming Apress Symfony book.

It’s Chapter 15, the Symfony Unit Test chapter.

In Symfony’s forthcoming v1.0, there is a new, custom Unit Test framework called Lime.

In depth documentation about all the new features of v1.0, have been sorely missing, but not only will this book fill the void, it will become the official documentation for the whole project, and also available online for free.

If you use Symfony, please support the project by ordering a paper copy.

I’ll be informally representing Symfony during ZendCon next week.

If you’re gonna be there, and you just want to ask questions about Symfony, or look at real code, just ask, I’ll be glad to open the laptop and give you a tour.

By the way, I forgot to wish Symfony a Happy Birthday!

It’s been 12 months, and stories like this illustrate how far it’s come, and what amazing potential this framework has.

Fabien, Francois, and the entire Symfony dev team have been kicking ass and writing great code.

Great job guys!
