(Symfony + PHP 5.3) == Milestone 1
We are pleased to announce that NetBeans IDE 6.8 M1 Download is now available. Visit the NetBeans
6.8 New and Noteworthy page to learn more about all the new
features and enhancements available in this milestone
release. The final release of NetBeans IDE 6.8 is planned for Fall 2009.
Highlights of this stabilized development build include the initial support for the 6.8 key PHP features:
- Symfony Support - the most voted framework
-
Improvements in PHPUnit-support
-
Support for PHP 5.3 language features (syntax highlighting, code completion, code folding, navigator)
Support for PHP 5.3 language features in NetBeans IDE 6.8
One of the goals for NetBeans IDE 6.8 is to bring support for the new language features in PHP 5.3, such as new keywords, namespaces and closures. Now I would like to share information about status of PHP editor features
for Milestone 1.
Milestone 1 Features
Syntax Highlighting for new keywords, closures
Code Folding for namespaces
Navigator shows namespace declarations
aliases/imports, constants declared outside a class using the const keyword planned for milestone 2
Code Completion after use, namespace keywords, identifiers with qualified names
Please test it and report all the issues or enhancements you find in NetBeans IssueZilla (component php, subcomponent editor).
Is nested indentation going to be addressed?
array example:
$test = array(
'foo' => 'bar',
'baz' => array(
'wow' => 'baz',
'baz' => 'wow'),
'bar' => 'foo'
);
object example:
$this->objects
->getFoo($this->objects
->getBaz()
->getWow())
->getBar();
Been waiting on this for a while.

Hi Kevin,
this blog entry is actually PHP News and Noteworthy for milestone 1 and highlights PHP 5.3 support, but isn't complete plan for 6.8. Anyway indentation & formatting is top priority for 6.8 and milestone 2 should bring these awaited improvements rather than other new features

Your IDE rocks.. Thanks for so great tool... I would love to see more support for popular PHP frameworks like Zend, YII, CakePHP, CodeIgniter..

To lynshelmanscott:
Feel free to update each framework's issue in NB IssueZilla (what exactly you would expect from the support), that will help us a lot!
Thanks,
Tomas

I have M1 running since released and i already have it as productive system running. Loving it so far -- it's way faster than 6.7 and on Windows working great.
A big THANK YOU for your work out there.

And what about this?:
use Nette\Environment as Env;
In other words, support for aliased classes within code suggestions;

To Cifro:
support for aliased classes within code suggestions is planned but not done yet.

To Alex:
Embedded browser requires 32-bit JDK. When running Linux then at least JDK version 1.6.0. When GTK look and feel is enabled on Linux then JDK 1.6.0 update 14 or better is required.
