Hashbin v3 just went to public beta

I'm proud to annouce that HashBin v3 is out, using the latest improvements to dkGeshi (old sfGeshi, soon public) and the brand new dkAntispamPlugin, which can give a text a note about its probability of being spam, or junk. If everything goes well with hashbin, and after some required (i guess) tuning to the plugin, it will go opensource to let you take advantage of it.

For thoose who never used it, HashBin is a free PasteBin service, a collaborative debugging tool allowing developpers to share source code snippets. Hashbin is powered by the Symfony Framework and PHP Doctrine ORM.

sfGeshi plugin release

The sfGeshi plugin has been updated today to use latest GeSHi improvements, and to add some features. The SVN path changed too, to comply with symfony-project.com plugin repository naming conventions, so be sure to check out the documentation.

sfGeshi::getLanguages()

This static methods allow you to get an associative array of languages, with GeSHi language identifiers as keys and human readable language names as values.

<?php echo select_tag('language', options_for_select(sfGeshi::getLanguages(), $language)); ?>

sfGeshi::getPluginPath()

This convenience method has been added to allow you to call sfGeshiPlugin directory differently. It should be used if you need direct access to GeSHi files (like language highlighting definition files in /geshi/).

<?php
$files = sfFinder::type('file')->name('*.php')->in(sfGeshi::getPluginPath().'/geshi/');

foreach ($files as $file)
{
  echo $file . '=>' . basename($file, '.php');
}

Symfony 1.0 is out!

Despite the DIGG side effects of which symfony project server suffered because of heavy traffic brought by the well known social bookmarking site's homepage anouncing symfony's first "stable" release, the long awaited 1.0 version is here!

For thoose who don't know it, Symfony is a MVC (Model-View-Component) PHP5 framework aiming to Rapid Application Development and good codinig practices like the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle. Their main contributors, french developpers from Sensio Labs Fabien Potencier and François Zaninotto have written a very good documentation book about it, that you can either buy at amazon (for thoose who like holding a real book), or download/read freely on the symfony project website as a PDF file.

Supported by a large community, you'll find support about symfony in diverse flavour, from the symfony forum to different languages mailing lists, going thru #symfony and #symfony-fr (for french developpers) on Freenode IRC network.

As the official release note is saying: At last, the long-awaited 1.0 stable version of symfony is just released. For all those who waited for the "stable" status to dive into symfony, the time has come.
