Features

The process of switching to Symfony2 requires some temporary refactoring of legacy code in order to keep things running. In some cases it means removing features because they will need to be rewritten or handles differently.

Things which will completely change:

Translation
Templating (to Twig and assetic)
Javascript framework, based on jQuery 1.7+ with no prototype support
CSS (to Twitter Bootstrap 2.0.2)
