First beta version of new symfony version 1.2 is out now. There is a long long list of What's New in Symfony 1.2 but some of them are:

  • Doctrine to be bundled with framewok with Propel.
  • Prototype and Scriptaculous as core Javascript plugins.
  • Enhanced Web Debug Toolbar.
  • Propel 1.3 upgrade.
  • Many improvements and new features in Forms.

The list goes long and you can catch up that on Symfony website or just download and install a fresh copy of symfony 1.2 to play with.
