Muchas gracias :)

#2 Muhammad Asif Ali said about 8 hours later

eagerly waiting for the 1.1 .
when it will be available?

#3 Lee said about 18 hours later

Is there an estimated date for the release of v1.1?

Is there a complete v1.1 example application documented anywhere? This really is crucial, in my opinion -- but then I am new to Symfony and waiting for this release before getting my hands dirty.
