The goal of this blog post is to number one serve me as a todo list of stuff that I personally think needs to be fixed before Symfony2 can be released. Hopefully it will also entice some people to help out with these tasks. I am focusing on the medium to large tasks. There are of course still a fair number of smaller fixes that need to be applied.

• merge form layer rewrite (and close the many related tickets and PRs)
• attempt to automatically determine service scopes
• clean up Security component exceptions to make it easier to determine what exception messages contain sensitive information
• switch Security/Validation components to using message key's rather than full sentences
• fix cache warming for functional tests
• Assetic documentation
• Something similar to the Jobeet tutorial
• FrameworkExtra and SecurityExtra annotation issues when using Doctrine Common master
• Interface injection overriding (removed interface injection instead)
• Various minor issues that seem to be plaguing ESI support (though actually these might be worked out by now)
• Doctrine2 EntityManager rollback not playing nicely with the DIC (there is now a 'doctrine' registry service that can be injected that allows getting a new EntityManager instance)
• Adding a DIC aware Serializer (added to the RestBundle for now, may be moved to core)
• Better support for SSL'ed urls and assets
• Make sure core works nicely with FOSRestBundle, like small changes to enable flexible format negotiations and truly optional route parameters

Anything critical I forgot? Anyone wondering how to help ask away :)

Update: FYI Beta1 is planned for next week.
