Doctrine 2

Doctrine 2 Key Features
Less “magic”
Faster
Hydrating 5000 objects went from 4.3 to 1.4 seconds (php 5.3?)
Behaviors will become extensions
DBAL separated from ORM
Can use DBAL as a standalone component
Allows for better schema-to-DB comparisons
Better migrations
DQL is now a true language
Recursive parser
Throws useful, informative exceptions
More explicit relationship between model classes and ORM
Based on comments
Persist() function
Better entity inheritance
Improved performance
Ability to write raw SQL and get hydrated objects back
Still the leading ORM in Symfony
Propel has restarted but not backed by Sensio
Estimated release date
Late 2010 to early 2011

Symfony 2 Preview Release

Symfony 2 Key Features
Faster
2.5x faster than symfony1.4 (claims “fastest” PHP framework)
Based on Symfony Components
Highly configurable
DI container will be important, although “sensible defaults” will be there if you don’t want to worry about it
Configuration in PHP, XML, YAML or INI format
Will have many of the same useful features
Admin generator will be built
Namespacing
Helpers are now objects
Plugins are now “Bundles”
First class citizens. Everything is a bundle
Less concepts to master yet more powerful
Everything is Templates and Slots
No more components, partials, etc
Uses Zend Libraries
Logger for example
Better Debugging and Error messages
Estimated Release is late 2010
