Release candidates for two versions of symfony 1.3 and 1.4 were released

The reason for the simultaneous release of two versions is that version 1.3 supports the deprecated parts of the framework (for upgrading projects from 1.2), and 1.4 is recommended for new projects.


What's new?

• SwiftMailer 4.1 is now the default mail module.
• The routing system has become 25% faster in beta version 1.3
• The sfWidgetFormInput widget has been renamed to sfWidgetFormInputText, and sfWidgetFormInput itself is now an abstract class
• New validators sfValidatorRegex, sfValidatorUrl, sfValidatorSchemaCompare
• Facilitated the process of translating into other languages ​​in widgets with a list of choices
• Removed the sfCommonFilter filter, which is responsible for the automatic inclusion of css-styles and js-scripts, should now specifically specify what to include with the help of helpers include_stylesheets () and include_javascripts ()
• Doctrine 1.2 used. Propel classes updated to version 1.4.
  YAML now "understands" only true / false, not allowed on / off, yes / no
  
  
  As well as the new project: optimize task, it reduces the number of reads from the disk at runtime, by caching your application templates and helpers. This command should be used only on the production server. And restart every time you change the project code.
  ')
  And now every new project contains its own BaseForm class. Forms generated by sfDoctrinePlugin and sfPropelPlugin automatically inherit the BaseForm class, which can be extended by adding additional functionality. When adding new forms, they should also be inherited from BaseForm, and not from sfForm.
  
  A complete list of innovations can be found on the framework website .
  
  Stable releases of version 1.3 / 1.4 are expected in the coming week.
