API broken – who cares?

Dont get me wrong, I really love the symfony PHP framework. But some things really annoy me.

For example, in late november there has been some minor bugfixing, followed by a new version release. Which broke the API of a pretty basic class for no reason (method getI18NGlobalDirs got renamed to getDecoratorDirsGlobalDirs).

But accidents can happen, I hear you say. Yes they can. The mistake got fixed 9 days later, a new Version got rolled out.  Well, fixed is too much for this, it got a lillte bit less broken, (method got renamend to getI18NDirsGlobalDirs).

In late december, this has been discovered and finally fixed. No new version has been rolled out yet.

Long story short, the API is broken since november and the broken version is still the latest. Which sucks when your using the stable version in some big projects.

UPDATE:
Finally, after several months, Version 1.1.7 has been released.
