reverting the changes in the Bundles will be trivial and any Bundle author that updated to master (aka 2.1) already will hear about this change back too .. so I am sure they will get updated just as quickly. more importantly it just means that their 2.1 version now becomes the 2.2 version. regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith [email protected] -- 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 developers" group.
