Symfony2 PR12 released

Just a quick notice: Symfony2 PR12 released

Propel2 - 'Whether it is called Propel2 or not is irrelevant.'

Yesterday something popped out on my twitter stream and made me a bit curious. Francois Zaninotto is working on an ActiveRecord Implementation built on top of some Symfony2 components,  Doctrine2 and Twig, maybe it will be later called Propel2 or not.

Check it out here.

Features currently supported (out of the project readme on github)

• Working ActiveRecord builder (no handling of relations for now)
  • Generated entities are empty classes extending generated Base Entities extending nothing
  • Getter & setter generation
  • Metadata loader
  • Access to the EntityManager from within an Entity
  • fromArray and toArray
  • isNew, isModified, etc.
  • ActiveEntity methods: save(), delete()
• Basic behavior support
  • Ability to alter the data structure
  • Ability to modify the generated code pretty much everywhere
  • Timestampable behavior example
• Template customization via partials

I love this new era of PHP projects:

• Behat & Gherkin
• Mink
• Imagine
• Assetic
• Gaufrette
• Sismo (covered here)
• Silex (covered here)
• Propel2
• PHPCR
• Capifony

Just to mention a few ;)
