symfony 1.2 features

hi, we all knows tht symfony 1.2 is released . today i want to write about some symfony 1.2 features.

Features
The admin generator will be rewritten from scratch to leverage the new form framework. The main goal is to provide a more customizable and a more flexible admin generator.

The Propel plugin and the Doctrine plugin will be bundled with symfony 1.2. So, as of symfony 1.2, the core team will officially support Doctrine as a first class citizen.

The development of secure applications has always been quite easy with symfony thanks to the use of the ORM, the output escaper, and the CSRF protection. Symfony 1.2 will go one step further by providing native input filtering. We will base this feature on the new filter extension bundled with PHP 5.2.

The framework must simplify the life of the developer on repetitive and boring activities. As most applications send emails, the Swift library, one of the most feature-full and flexible solution for sending emails in PHP, will be integrated into the core.

The JavaScript world evolves very quickly, with lot of great frameworks available (prototype, jQuery, Dojo, mootools, and YUI). all the JavaScript stuff available into a plugin.
The project:deploy task was just a proof of concept. So, it is time to start a discussion on the features we need for a proper deployment task.

The routing is now cached, so you can expect a significant performance boost when you got plenty of routes in your app. Also, the routing class is no more a singleton so you can now extend and reference it easily to fit your needs,
