According to this new post to the Symfony blog, fans of the framework have a new reason to be happy - the latest version, 1.1, has officially been released.

As you may know, we have been working for a very long time on the next stable version of symfony. Now the day has come to celebrate the immediate availability of the long awaited 1.1 stable release of the symfony framework!

Just some of the new features include the framework's new architecture, its brand new YAML parser, the bundling of Propel as a plugin and the addition of over 8,500 functional tests to ensure the solid structure of the framework stands.

You can either update/install this latest version with the pear command line functionality or download the package directly from the site.
