Doctrine Future Roadmap
Posted about 1 year ago by jwage
So, lately we've been discussing and getting a lot of questions about the future roadmap of Doctrine, specifically 2.0. If you are following PHP 5.3 you will have noticed that PHP 5.3 RC4 was released last week. This means that the stable release of 5.3 is very near.
Below you will find a schedule of the roadmap we have planned for the upcoming months/years.
| Date | Item |
|---|---|
| 06/22/2009 | Branch Doctrine 1.2 |
| 06/24/2009 | PHP 5.3.0 Stable Release (YES!!!) |
| 09/2009 | Begin 1.2 release cycle. Alpha, Beta, RC, Stable |
| 09/2009 | Final 6 months of 1.0 Support |
| 09/2009 | Launch 2.0 Alpha 1 |
| 11/2009 | Launch 1.2.0 with Long Term Support (18 months) |
| 11/2009 | Symfony 1.3 + Doctrine 1.2 |
| 11/2009 | End Doctrine 1.1 Support |
| 03/2010 | End Doctrine 1.0 Support |
| 03/2010 | Continue 2.0 release cycle |
| ??/2010 | Release 2.0.0 with Long Term Support (18 months) |
| 06/2011 | End Doctrine 1.2 Support |
We hope that the above timeline gives PHP 5.3 plenty of time to be adopted before we officially stop support for the Doctrine 1.x series. We think it will be plenty of time but depending how things play out, we can always add more time to the support life cycle of the 1.x series, but we hope to not have to. So, this Wednesday when PHP 5.3 is released, please switch to it if you can and help with the adoption.

Symfony + Doctrine 2.0 Posted by Matthieu about about 1 year ago.
Hi Jonathan,
Do you plan to release a Doctrine 2.0 symfony plugin with a symfony 1.* version ? Or do you plan to wait for Symfony 2.0?
Thanks for the roadmap anyway,
Matthieu.

Too soon to be able to know what I will do.

1.2 and 5.3? Posted by Adam about about 1 year ago.
Will Doctrine 1.2 require PHP 5.3? (Personally I hope the answer is yes.)
@Adam Posted by romanb about about 1 year ago.
No, Doctrine 1.2 is an evolution of the Doctrine 1 series and will not raise the minimum requirements. Only Doctrine 2 will require PHP 5.3.
Of course we really recommend to upgrade to PHP 5.3 even if you're using Doctrine 1.x. The benefits are huge.
@Adam Posted by s.golasch about about 1 year ago.
I´am not a doctrine developer, but after studying the trac a bit, I don´t believe that any of the 1.x branches will require PHP 5.3
Roadmap Query Posted by Pete Hatton about about 1 year ago.
I've noticed in the roadmap that Doctrine 1.1 support ends in November 2009 and Doctrine 1.0 support ends in March 2010 - is this the right way round?
Also is there a link to an general plan for Doctrine 1.2?
@Pete Hatton Posted by romanb about about 1 year ago.
Yes, I think it is the right way around since 1.1 is not an LTS (Long Term Support) release.
@romanb Posted by Pete Hatton about about 1 year ago.
Thanks for the reply, I just hope moving from 1.1 to 1.2 won't be too painful in any way. (Although moving from 1.0 to 1.1 was fine.)
I would like to move to 2.0 when it comes out, but that does depend on how well PHP5.3 is adopted, and how easy it is to move.
Keep up the good work. ;)
1.1 to 1.2 Posted by jwage about about 1 year ago.
Migrating from 1.1 to 1.2 will be no problem. Hopefully easier than 1.0 to 1.1

2.0 Sooner! Posted by Omega about about 1 year ago.
My timing is terrible! I'm just starting to integrate Doctrine into a project of mine and 2.0 is just around the corner!
Now I know why Pre-Alpha exists! Of course, I guess it'll be no good to have access to it without documentation.
Any advice for someone just jumping in now?
