As mentioned both here on the symfony project's website and here on the Zend Developer Zone, a new beta release of the framework has been made - version 1.0 Beta 1.
It's been a long time since the latest beta release (0.7.1915), and even a longer time since the last stable release (0.6.3). Today, we are happy to announce the release of symfony 1.0 Beta 1, and this is a major step towards the version 1.0, which should come shortly.
New features in this release include:
- Easier installation and larger compatibility
- Major performance improvement
- New unit test library
- Easier templating
- Better and more flexible Model layer
