During the past month I have submited about a dozen tickets, with half of them being in the last 10 days. During that time, I have not been actively developing with symfony on the account of some exams that are closing by, I have only been playing around with a small website and only in the backend. From my point of view, this is proof that the 1.3/1.4 branches are not stable enough, and therefore I would like to make a proposition:
Delay the 1.3/1.4 release. These are words no developer likes to hear, but I think the decision is warranted. In any case, it's a much better option than releasing it now and then having to deal with frustrated first time adopters. The latest bug I came across (#7713) results in random translations being grabbed from the database when calling doSelectWithI18n (based on which was saved first) - the kind of bug that would reeeeallyyy throw off anybody who is not familiar with SF/Propel and their internals. Alas, it's a one-line-fix, but so was (#7693), and it was a bug about a feature introduced more than a month ago that simply did not work (ie, nobody bothered to verify that it worked in the first place). Don't get me wrong, I'm all hyped up for symfony 1.4. I absolutely LOVE the new propel's behavior system, it is one of the most powerful tools I have seen in a while. There are so many improvements, that one can't help but get excited - which is exactly why we have to be absolutely sure we are giving people the best possible version of symfony. One that works :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony developers" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
