As these files are just about optimizing the performance,
they are now part of the sandbox and the upcoming standard
Symfony distribution.
It should also make your IDE happier!
A class in Symfony2 can be loaded by four different mechanisms:
* bootstrap.php: This file contains classes that are always required and
needed very early in the request handling;
* classes.php: This file contains classes that are always required and
managed by extensions via addClassesToCompile();
* MapFileClassLoader: This autoloader uses a map of class/file to load
classes (classes are managed by extensions via addClassesToAutoloadMap(),
and should contain often used classes);
* UniversalAutolaoder: This autoloader loads all other classes (it's the
slowest one).
To benefit from the optimization, you need to change this line from your
autoload.php:
require_once $vendorDir.'/symfony/src/Symfony/Component/HttpFoundation/UniversalClassLoader.php';
to this one:
require_once $vendorDir.'/symfony/src/Symfony/Component/HttpKernel/bootstrap.php';
Notice that if you don't do this change, your app will in fact be slower than before.
* The register() method on all listeners has been removed
* Instead, the information is now put directly in the DIC tag
For instance, a listener on core.request had this method:
public function register(EventDispatcher $dispatcher, $priority = 0)
{
$dispatcher->connect('core.response', array($this, 'filter'), $priority);
}
And this tag in the DIC configuration:
<tag name="kernel.listener" />
Now, it only has the following configuration:
<tag name="kernel.listener" event="core.response" method="filter" priority="0" />
The event and method attributes are now mandatory.
