Hi list,

When I look at the trunk version of symfony, I see a lot of new and exciting
stuff, among which:

- New CLI task system
- New plugin system
- New mixin/event system
- Improved caching system
- Total decoupling of objects
- Better exceptions
- Better routing
- Better logging
- Better storage
- More factories
- Less singletons
- I probably forgot some
- And many, many small improvements.

All in all, the question about symfony 1.1 is more "what hasn't changed"
rather that "what has changed". The best part is that all that has changed
almost never breaks BC, which means that existing applications will most of
the time be able to take advantage of the new features.

This leads me to a marketing concern: Should we call the next release
"symfony 1.1" or "symfony 2.0"? With all the new stuff in there, calling it
1.1 would really be a poor choice (especially if you compare it with what
rails put in its 1.1...), spoiling the enhancements. On the other hand,
calling it symfony 2.0 might frighten people, especially BC wise.

We know Fabien has great plans for after this next release, but their
version number could very well be 3.0 or 4.0.

Last but not least, symfony 1.0 was released eight months ago, and no
enhancement was officially published since then. I think symfony deserves a
strong version upgrade to show that the development is very active.

What are your thoughts on the subject?

François
