I'm the author of the second blog post you mentioned. It's been quite hard to justify spending much more time on SF1+D2 since riding the Symfony 2 wave, but that said, we do still have a project that we are maintaining that uses SF1 and D2. The sfDoctrine2Plugin has not been updated for a while, in fact it is frozen on a very old version of Doctrine - *however* we have recently updated the above project to the latest version of Doctrine 2 and one of my colleagues has supplied some patches to get the plugin up to date - hopefully I will push them upstream some time this week. As for whether you should do a full migration, I'm not sure about that - I guess it depends a lot on the size of the task. I'm very tempted to move one of our SF1+D2 projects to SF2+D2 as having the model in D2 is a real plus considering how well it works with SF2. However, another project I am working with in SF1+D1 is a much harder decision to migrate to SF2+D2 as it will require months of work... I still want to do it... one day ;o) Russ. -- If you want to report a vulnerability issue on symfony, please send it to security at symfony-project.com You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony users" group.
