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 :)
