Today I am very happy to announce that Doctrine 1.2.0 stable has been released. This is a very significant release for Doctrine as it contains a lot of valuable enhancements and bug fixes. This will most likely be the last new version of the Doctrine 1 branch that we release. This means that it is the last LTS(long term support) release as it is supported for a full 18 months. Below is the current proposed support schedule for the available Doctrine 1 versions.

| Version | Supported Until | | ---------------------- | --------------------- | | Doctrine 1.0 | 03/01/2010 | | Doctrine 1.1 | 03/01/2010 | | Doctrine 1.2 | 06/01/2011 |

Originally 1.1 was scheduled to end support on 11/01/2009, but we have decided to support it until 03/01/2010 to give people enough time to upgrade to 1.2. After 03/01/2010 Doctrine 1.2 will be the only actively supported version of Doctrine 1.
